1. In יְהוָ֥ה put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee a bird to your mountain?
2. For, lo, the wicked bend bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
3. If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
4. יְהוָ֥ה in his holy temple, יְהוָ֥ה'S throne in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
5. יְהוָ֥ה trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
6. Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: the portion of their cup.
7. For the righteous יְהוָ֥ה loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.
