King James Version KJV
1 For the leader. By David: In ADONAI I find refuge. So how can you say to me, "Flee like a bird to the mountains!
1
In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
2 See how the wicked are drawing their bows and setting their arrows on the string, to shoot from the shadows at honest men.
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 are destroyed, what can the righteous do?"
3
If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
4 ADONAI is in his holy temple. ADONAI, his throne is in heaven. His eyes see and test humankind.
4
The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD'S throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
5 ADONAI tests the righteous; but he hates the wicked and the lover of violence.
5
The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
6 He will rain hot coals down on the wicked, fire, sulfur and scorching wind will be what they get to drink.
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 ADONAI is righteous; he loves righteousness; the upright will see his face.
7
For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.
