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!'
