1In Yahweh, I take refuge. How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your mountain!”
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）
2For, behold, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrows on the strings, that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.
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。
3If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?
3根基既然毁坏，义人还能作什么呢？”
4Yahweh is in his holy temple. Yahweh is on his throne in heaven. His eyes observe. His eyes examine the children of men.
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。
5Yahweh examines the righteous, but the wicked and him who loves violence his soul hates.
5耶和华试验义人和恶人，他的心恨恶喜爱强暴的人。
6On the wicked he will rain blazing coals; fire, sulfur, and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.
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。
7For Yahweh is righteous. He loves righteousness. The upright shall see his face.
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。
