1大卫的诗，交给诗班长。我投靠耶和华，你们怎么对我说：“你要像飞鸟逃到你的山上去。（本节在《马索拉抄本》包括细字标题）
1To the Overseer. — By David. In Jehovah I trusted, how say ye to my soul, `They moved [to] Thy mountain for the bird?
2看哪！恶人的弓已经拉开，箭已经上弦，要从暗处射那心里正直的人。
2For lo, the wicked tread a bow, They have prepared their arrow on the string, To shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.
3根基既然毁坏，义人还能作什么呢？”
3When the foundations are destroyed, The righteous — what hath he done?
4耶和华在他的圣殿里，耶和华的宝座在天上，他的眼睛观看，他的目光察验世人。
4`Jehovah [is] in his holy temple: Jehovah — in the heavens [is] His throne. His eyes see — His eyelids try the sons of men.
5耶和华试验义人和恶人，他的心恨恶喜爱强暴的人。
5Jehovah the righteous doth try. And the wicked and the lover of violence, Hath His soul hated,
6耶和华必使火炭落在恶人身上，烈火、硫磺和旱风是他们杯中的分。
6He poureth on the wicked snares, fire, and brimstone, And a horrible wind [is] the portion of their cup.
7因为耶和华是公义的，他喜爱公义的行为，正直的人必得见他的面。
7For righteous [is] Jehovah, Righteousness He hath loved, The upright doth His countenance see!`
