Septuagint Bible w/ Apocrypha LXX
New Revised Standard w/ Apocrypha NRSA
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 can you say to me, "Flee like a bird to the mountains;
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 the bow, they have fitted their arrow to the string, to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart.
3 For they have pulled down what thou didst frame, but what has the righteous done?
3
If the foundations are 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's throne is in heaven. His eyes behold, his gaze examines humankind.
5 The Lord tries the righteous and the ungodly: and he that loves unrighteousness hates his own soul.
5
The Lord tests the righteous and the wicked, and his soul hates the lover of violence.
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 coals of fire and sulfur; a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.
7 For the Lord is righteous, and loves righteousness; his face beholds uprightness.
7
For the Lord is righteous; he loves righteous deeds; the upright shall behold his face.
