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. |
