King James Version KJV
Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye 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, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot 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 be 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'S throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, 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 trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
5
Jehovah the righteous doth try. And the wicked and the lover of violence, Hath His soul hated,
6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this 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 righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.
7
For righteous [is] Jehovah, Righteousness He hath loved, The upright doth His countenance see!'
