1In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
1大衛的詩，交給詩班長。我投靠耶和華，你們怎麼對我說：“你要像飛鳥逃到你的山上去。（本節在《馬索拉抄本》包括細字標題）
2For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
2看哪！惡人的弓已經拉開，箭已經上弦，要從暗處射那心裡正直的人。
3If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
3根基既然毀壞，義人還能作甚麼呢？”
4The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD's throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
4耶和華在他的聖殿裡，耶和華的寶座在天上，他的眼睛觀看，他的目光察驗世人。
5The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
5耶和華試驗義人和惡人，他的心恨惡喜愛強暴的人。
6Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
6耶和華必使火炭落在惡人身上，烈火、硫磺和旱風是他們杯中的分。
7For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.
7因為耶和華是公義的，他喜愛公義的行為，正直的人必得見他的面。
