Hebrew Names Version HNV
Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 <<For the Chief Musician. By David.>> In the LORD do I take refuge. How can you say to my soul, "Flee as a bird to your mountain!"
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, behold, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrows on the strings, That they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.
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 If the foundations are destroyed, What can the righteous do?
3
When the foundations are destroyed, The righteous -- what hath he done?
4 The LORD is in his holy temple. The LORD is on his throne in heaven. His eyes observe. His eyes examine the children of men.
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 The LORD examines the righteous, But the wicked and him who loves violence his soul hates.
5
Jehovah the righteous doth try. And the wicked and the lover of violence, Hath His soul hated,
6 On the wicked he will rain blazing coals; Fire, sulfur, and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.
6
He poureth on the wicked snares, fire, and brimstone, And a horrible wind [is] the portion of their cup.
7 For the LORD is righteous. He loves righteousness. The upright shall see his face.
7
For righteous [is] Jehovah, Righteousness He hath loved, The upright doth His countenance see!'
