1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ לְדָוִד בַּיהוָה ׀ חָסִיתִי אֵיךְ תֹּאמְרוּ לְנַפְשִׁי [נוּדוּ כ] (נוּדִי ק) הַרְכֶם צִפֹּור׃

2 כִּי הִנֵּה הָרְשָׁעִים יִדְרְכוּן קֶשֶׁת כֹּונְנוּ חִצָּם עַל־יֶתֶר לִירֹות בְּמֹו־אֹפֶל לְיִשְׁרֵי־לֵב׃

3 כִּי הַשָּׁתֹות יֵהָרֵסוּן צַדִּיק מַה־פָּעָל׃

4 יְהוָה ׀ בְּהֵיכַל קָדְשֹׁו יְהוָה בַּשָּׁמַיִם כִּסְאֹו עֵינָיו יֶחֱזוּ עַפְעַפָּיו יִבְחֲנוּ בְּנֵי אָדָם׃

5 יְהוָה צַדִּיק יִבְחָן וְרָשָׁע וְאֹהֵב חָמָס שָׂנְאָה נַפְשֹׁו׃

6 יַמְטֵר עַל־רְשָׁעִים פַּחִים אֵשׁ וְגָפְרִית וְרוּחַ זִלְעָפֹות מְנָת כֹּוסָם׃

7 כִּי־צַדִּיק יְהוָה צְדָקֹות אָהֵב יָשָׁר יֶחֱזוּ פָנֵימֹו׃

1 To the Overseer. -- By David. In Jehovah I trusted, how say ye to my soul, `They moved [to] Thy mountain for the bird?

2 For lo, the wicked tread a bow, They have prepared their arrow on the string, To shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.

3 When the foundations are destroyed, The righteous -- what hath he done?

4 `Jehovah [is] in his holy temple: Jehovah -- in the heavens [is] His throne. His eyes see -- His eyelids try the sons of men.

5 Jehovah the righteous doth try. And the wicked and the lover of violence, Hath His soul hated,

6 He poureth on the wicked snares, fire, and brimstone, And a horrible wind [is] the portion of their cup.

7 For righteous [is] Jehovah, Righteousness He hath loved, The upright doth His countenance see!`
