Septuagint Bible w/ Apocrypha LXX
New International Version NIV
1 In the Lord I have put my trust: how will ye say to my soul, Flee to the mountains as a sparrow?
1
In the LORD I take refuge. How then can you say to me: “Flee like a bird to your mountain.
2 For behold the sinners have bent their bow, they have prepared their arrows for the quiver, to shoot privily at the upright in heart.
2
For look, the wicked bend their bows; they set their arrows against the strings to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.
3 For they have pulled down what thou didst frame, but what has the righteous done?
3
When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?”
4 The Lord is in his holy temple, as for the Lord, his throne is in heaven: his eyes look upon the poor, his eyelids try the sons of men.
4
The LORD is in his holy temple; the LORD is on his heavenly throne. He observes everyone on earth; his eyes examine them.
5 The Lord tries the righteous and the ungodly: and he that loves unrighteousness hates his own soul.
5
The LORD examines the righteous, but the wicked, those who love violence, he hates with a passion.
6 He shall rain upon sinners snares, fire, and brimstone, and a stormy blast shall be the portion of their cup.
6
On the wicked he will rain fiery coals and burning sulfur; a scorching wind will be their lot.
7 For the Lord is righteous, and loves righteousness; his face beholds uprightness.
7
For the LORD is righteous, he loves justice; the upright will see his face.
