¹(11 in KJV) For the end, a Psalm of David. In the Lord I have put my trust: how will you⌃ say to my soul,

¹Why standest thou afar off, O Lord? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?

²Flee to the mountains as a sparrow?

²The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.

³For behold the sinners have bent their [bow], they have prepared their arrows for the quiver, to shoot privily at the upright in heart.

³For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the Lord abhorreth.

⁴For they have pulled down what you did frame, but what has the righteous done?

⁴The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

⁵The Lord is in his holy temple, as for the Lord, his throne is in heaven: his eyes look upon the poor, his eyelids try the sons of men.

⁵His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

⁶The Lord tries the righteous and the ungodly: and he that loves unrighteousness hates his own soul.

⁶He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.

⁷He shall rain upon sinners snares, fire, and brimstone, and a stormy blast [shall be] the portion of their cup.

⁷His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.

⁸For the Lord [is] righteous, and loves righteousness; his face beholds uprightness.

⁸He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.
