11

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

1 In the Lord put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?

2 For, lo, the wicked bend their 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* The Lordis in his holy temple, the Lord’s throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.

5 The Lord 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: this shall be the portion of their cup.

7 For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.

[† ] Heb. in darkness.

[* ] Hab. 2. 20.

[∥ ] Or, a burning tempest.
