New King James VersionChristian Standard Bible
1To the Chief Musician. [i]A Psalm[/i] of David. In the LORD I put my trust; How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your mountain”?1I have taken refuge in the LORD. How can you say to me, "Escape to the mountains like a bird!
2For look! The wicked bend their bow, They make ready their arrow on the string, That they may shoot secretly at the upright in heart.2For look, the wicked string bows; they put their arrows on bowstrings to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.
3If the foundations are destroyed, What can the righteous do?3When the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?"
4The LORD is in His holy temple, The LORD’s throne is in heaven; His eyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men.4The LORD is in his holy temple; the LORD--his throne is in heaven. His eyes watch; his gaze examines everyone.
5The LORD tests the righteous, But the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates.5The LORD examines the righteous, but he hates the wicked and those who love violence.
6Upon the wicked He will rain coals; Fire and brimstone and a burning wind Shall be the portion of their cup.6Let him rain burning coals and sulfur on the wicked; let a scorching wind be the portion in their cup.
7For the LORD is righteous, He loves righteousness; His countenance beholds the upright.7For the LORD is righteous; he loves righteous deeds. The upright will see his face.
