1	TO THE CHOIRMASTER. OF DAVID.In the LORD I take refuge; how can you say to my soul, “Flee like a bird to your mountain,
2	for behold, the wicked bend the bow; they have fitted their arrow to the string to shoot in the dark 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 see, his eyelids test, the children of man.
5	The LORD tests the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence.
6	Let him rain coals on the wicked; fire and sulfur and a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.
7	For the LORD is righteous; he loves righteous deeds; the upright shall behold his face.

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 the sons of men; his eyes examine them.
5	The LORD examines the righteous, but the wicked and those who love violence his soul hates.
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; upright men will see his face.

1	I trust in the LORD for protection. So why do you say to me, “Fly like a bird to the mountains for safety!
2	The wicked are stringing their bows and fitting their arrows on the bowstrings. They shoot from the shadows at those whose hearts are right.
3	The foundations of law and order have collapsed. What can the righteous do?“
4	But the LORD is in his holy Temple; the LORD still rules from heaven. He watches everyone closely, examining every person on earth.
5	The LORD examines both the righteous and the wicked. He hates those who love violence.
6	He will rain down blazing coals and burning sulfur on the wicked, punishing them with scorching winds.
7	For the righteous LORD loves justice. The virtuous will see his face. For the choir director: A psalm of David, to be accompanied by an eight-stringed instrument.

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.
