King James New American Standard Bible
  • 1 In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
  • 2 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
  • 3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
  • 4 The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD's throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
  • 5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
  • 6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
  • 7 For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.
  • 1 In the LORD I take refuge; How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your mountain;
  • 2 For, behold, the wicked bend the bow, They make ready their arrow upon the string To shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.
  • 3 If the foundations are destroyed, What can the righteous do?”
  • 4 The LORD is in His holy temple; the LORD'S throne is in heaven; His eyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men.
  • 5 The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked, And the one who loves violence His soul hates.
  • 6 Upon the wicked He will rain snares; Fire and brimstone and burning wind will be the portion of their cup.
  • 7 For the LORD is righteous, He loves righteousness; The upright will behold His face.
