1 I put my trust in Yahweh; How can you say to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?

2 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow on the string, that they may privately shoot at the upright in heart.

2 ὅτι ἰδοὺ οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἐνέτειναν τόξον, ἡτοίμασαν βέλη εἰς φαρέτραν, τοῦ κατατοξεῦσαι ἐν σκοτομήνῃ τοὺς εὐθεῖς τῇ καρδίᾳ.	2 ὅτι ἰδοὺ οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἐνέτειναν τόξον, ἡτοίμασαν βέλη εἰς φαρέτραν τοῦ κατατοξεῦσαι ἐν σκοτομήνῃ τοὺς εὐθεῖς τῇ καρδίᾳ.
2 Because look! the sinners have bent a bow, they prepared arrows for the quiver, to shoot in a dark night at the upright in heart.	2 Because look! the sinners have bent a bow, they prepared arrows for the quiver, to shoot in a dark night at the upright in heart.

3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?

3 ὅτι ἃ κατηρτίσω καθεῖλον, ὁ δὲ δίκαιος τί ἐποίησεν;	3 ὅτι ἃ σὺ κατηρτίσω, αὐτοὶ καθεῖλον· ὁ δὲ δίκαιος τί ἐποίησε;
3 Because they pulled down what you establised, but what did the righteous do?	3 Because they pulled down what you establised, but what did the righteous do?

4 Yahweh is in his holy temple, Yahweh’s throne is in heaven; his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.

4 Κύριος ἐν ναῷ ἁγίῳ αὐτοῦ, κύριος ἐν οὐρανῷ ὁ θρόνος αὐτοῦ· οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν πένητα ἀποβλέπουσιν, τὰ βλέφαρα αὐτοῦ ἐξετάζει τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν ἀνθρώπων·	4 Κύριος ἐν ναῷ ἁγίῳ αὐτοῦ· Κύριος ἐν οὐρανῷ ὁ θρόνος αὐτοῦ. οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν πένητα ἀποβλέπουσι, τὰ βλέφαρα αὐτοῦ ἐξετάζει τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν ἀνθρώπων.

5 Yahweh tries the righteous; but the wicked and him who loves violence his soul hates.

5 κύριος ἐξετάζει τὸν δίκαιον καὶ τὸν ἀσεβῆ, ὁ δὲ ἀγαπῶν ἀδικίαν μισεῖ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ψυχήν.	5 Κύριος ἐξετάζει τὸν δίκαιον καὶ τὸν ἀσεβῆ, ὁ δὲ ἀγαπῶν τὴν ἀδικίαν μισεῖ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ψυχήν.
5 The Lord examines the righteous and the impious; and the one who loves unrighteousness hates his own soul.	5 The Lord examines the righteous and the impious; and the one who loves unrighteousness hates his own soul.

6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and a horrible tempest; this shall be the portion of their cup.
