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 do you stand far off, Yahweh? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?

²Flee to the mountains as a sparrow?

²In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak. They are caught in the schemes that they devise.

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 boasts of his heart’s cravings. He blesses the greedy and condemns Yahweh.

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

⁴The wicked, in the pride of his face, has no room in his thoughts for God.

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 prosperous at all times. He is arrogant, and your laws are far from his sight. As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them.

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

⁶He says in his heart, “I shall not be shaken. For generations I shall have no trouble.”

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, deceit, and oppression. Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.

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

⁸He lies in wait near the villages. From ambushes, he murders the innocent. His eyes are secretly set against the helpless.
