1 In the LORD I take refuge. How then can you say to me: "Flee like a bird to your mountain.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 When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?"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 examines the righteous, but the wicked, those who love violence, he hates with a passion.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, he loves justice; the upright will see his face.

1 In finem, pro octava. Psalmus David. 2 [Salvum me fac, Domine, quoniam defecit sanctus,quoniam diminut sunt veritates a filiis hominum.3 Vana locuti sunt unusquisque ad proximum suum ;labia dolosa, in corde et corde locuti sunt.4 Disperdat Dominus universa labia dolosa,et linguam magniloquam.5 Qui dixerunt : Linguam nostram magnificabimus ;labia nostra a nobis sunt.Quis noster dominus est ?6 Propter miseriam inopum, et gemitum pauperum,nunc exsurgam, dicit Dominus.Ponam in salutari ;fiducialiter agam in eo.7 Eloquia Domini, eloquia casta ; argentum igne examinatum,probatum terr, purgatum septuplum.8 Tu, Domine, servabis nos,et custodies nos a generatione hac in ternum.9 In circuitu impii ambulant :secundum altitudinem tuam multiplicasti filios hominum.]
