1 |
To the Overseer. -- By David. In Jehovah I trusted, how say ye to my soul, 'They moved [to] Thy mountain for the bird? --
|
2 |
For lo, the wicked tread a bow, They have prepared their arrow on the string, To shoot in darkness at the upright in heart. --
|
3 |
When the foundations are destroyed, The righteous -- what hath he done? --
|
4 |
'Jehovah [is] in his holy temple: Jehovah -- in the heavens [is] His throne. His eyes see -- His eyelids try the sons of men. --
|
5 |
Jehovah the righteous doth try. And the wicked and the lover of violence, Hath His soul hated, --
|
6 |
He poureth on the wicked snares, fire, and brimstone, And a horrible wind [is] the portion of their cup. --
|
7 |
For righteous [is] Jehovah, Righteousness He hath loved, The upright doth His countenance see!' --
