For the Chief Musician. By David.

1 In Yahweh, I take refuge.

How can you say to my soul, "Flee as a bird to your mountain"?

2 For, behold, the wicked bend their bows.

They set their arrows on the strings,

that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.

3 If the foundations are destroyed,

what can the righteous do?

4 Yahweh is in his holy temple.

Yahweh is on his throne in heaven.

His eyes observe.

His eyes examine the children of men.

5 Yahweh examines the righteous,

but his soul hates the wicked and him who loves violence.

6 On the wicked he will rain blazing coals;

fire, sulfur, and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.

7 For Yahweh is righteous.

He loves righteousness.

The upright shall see his face.

大卫的诗，交给诗班长。 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《马索拉文本》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，

义人还能作甚么呢？"

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。
