1 For the conclusion. A Psalm by David. In the Lord I have placed my confidence, how say ye to my soul, "away to the mountains as an ostrich.
2 For behold the sinners have bent a bow: they have provided arrows for a quiver; to shoot privily the upright in heart.
3 For what thou didst build up, they have pulled down." Now what hath the righteous done?
4 The Lord is in his holy temple. The Lord, whose throne is in heaven; whose eyes look down on the needy; whose eye lids examine the sons of men;
5 the Lord examineth both the righteous and the wicked. He then who loveth iniquity hateth his own soul.
6 Upon the wicked he will rain snares. Fire and brimstone and a tempestuous wind, shall be the portion of their cup.
7 Because the Lord is righteous, therefore he loved righteousness; his countenance beheld uprightness.
