1 For the chief music-maker. Of David. In the Lord put I my faith; how will you say to my soul, Go in flight like a bird to the mountain?

2 See, the bows of the evil-doers are bent, they make ready their arrows on the cord, so that they may send them secretly against the upright in heart.

3 If the bases are broken down, what is the upright man to do?

4 The Lord is in his holy Temple, the Lord's seat is in heaven; his eyes are watching and testing the children of men.

5 The Lord puts the upright and the sinner to the test, but he has hate in his soul for the lover of violent acts.

6 On the evil-doer he will send down fire and flames, and a burning wind; with these will their cup be full.

7 For the Lord is upright; he is a lover of righteousness: the upright will see his face.

1 我投靠耶和华, 你们怎么对我说: "你要像飞鸟逃到你的山上去。(本节在《马索拉抄本》包括细字标题)

2 看哪! 恶人的弓已经拉开, 箭已经上弦, 要从暗处射那心里正直的人。

3 根基既然毁坏, 义人还能作什么呢?"

4 耶和华在他的圣殿里, 耶和华的宝座在天上, 他的眼睛观看, 他的目光察验世人。

5 耶和华试验义人和恶人, 他的心恨恶喜爱强暴的人。

6 耶和华必使火炭落在恶人身上, 烈火、硫磺和旱风是他们杯中的分。

7 因为耶和华是公义的, 他喜爱公义的行为, 正直的人必得见他的面。
