| 1 For the choir director. A Psalm of David. In the LORD I take refuge; How can you say to my soul, "Flee as a bird to your mountain; | 1 In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain? | 1 [For the choir director; by David.] I have taken refuge in the LORD. How can you say to me: "Flee to your mountain like a bird? | 1 In Yahweh, I take refuge. How can you say to my soul, "Flee as a bird to your mountain!" | 1 {To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} In Jehovah have I put my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain? | 2 For, behold, the wicked bend the bow, They make ready their arrow upon the string To shoot in darkness at the upright in heart. | 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. | 2 Wicked people bend their bows. They set their arrows against the strings to shoot in the dark at people whose motives are decent. | 2 For, 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 For behold, the wicked bend the bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may in darkness shoot at the upright in heart. | 3 If the foundations are destroyed, What can the righteous do?" | 3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? | 3 When the foundations [of life] are undermined, what can a righteous person do?" | 3 If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do? | 3 If the foundations be destroyed, what shall the righteous do? | 4 The LORD is in His holy temple; the LORD'S throne is in heaven; His eyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men. | 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. | 4 The LORD is in his holy temple. The LORD's throne is in heaven. His eyes see. They examine Adam's descendants. | 4 Yahweh is in his holy temple. Yahweh is on his throne in heaven. His eyes observe. His eyes examine the children of men. | 4 Jehovah is in the temple of his holiness; Jehovah, his throne is in the heavens: his eyes behold, his eyelids try the children of men. | 5 The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked, And the one who loves violence His soul hates. | 5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth. | 5 The LORD tests righteous people, but he hates wicked people and the ones who love violence. | 5 Yahweh examines the righteous, but the wicked and him who loves violence his soul hates. | 5 Jehovah trieth the righteous one; but the wicked, and him that loveth violence, his soul hateth. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 6 Upon the wicked He will rain snares; Fire and brimstone and burning wind will be the portion of their cup. | 6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup. | 6 He rains down fire and burning sulfur upon wicked people. He makes them drink from a cup filled with scorching wind. | 6 On the wicked he will rain blazing coals; fire, sulfur, and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup. | 6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone; and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup. | 7 For the LORD is righteous, He loves righteousness; The upright will behold His face. | 7 For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright. | 7 The LORD is righteous. He loves a righteous way of life. Decent people will see his face. | 7 For Yahweh is righteous. He loves righteousness. The upright shall see his face. For the Chief Musician; upon an eight-stringed lyre. A Psalm of David. | 7 For righteous is Jehovah; he loveth righteousness, his countenance doth behold the upright. |
