1For the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David. In Jehovah do I take refuge: How say ye to my soul, Flee [as] a bird to your mountain;
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 Zama guna, laalakoyey na biraw naan, I na ngey hangawey daŋ biraw korfey gaa, Zama ngey ma bine ra adilante hay kubay ra.
2For, lo, the wicked bend the bow, They make ready their arrow upon the string, That they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart;

4Yahweh is in his holy temple. Yahweh is on his throne in heaven. His eyes observe. His eyes examine the children of men.

5 Rabbi ga adilante gosi, Amma a bina ga konna laalakoy da toonye baako.

6On the wicked he will rain blazing coals; fire, sulfur, and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.

6Upon the wicked he will rain snares; Fire and brimstone and burning wind shall be the portion of their cup.
7For Yahweh is righteous. He loves righteousness. The upright shall see his face.
7 Zama Rabbi ya adilitaraykoy no, A ga ba adilitaray goy mo. Bine daahirantekoy ga di a moyduma.
7For Jehovah is righteous; he loveth righteousness: The upright shall behold his face.
