11 To the Overseer. -- By David. In Jehovah I trusted, how say ye to my soul, `They moved [to] Thy mountain for the bird?

² For lo, the wicked tread a bow, They have prepared their arrow on the string, To shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.

³ When the foundations are destroyed, The righteous -- what hath he done?

⁴ `Jehovah [is] in his holy temple: Jehovah -- in the heavens [is] His throne. His eyes see -- His eyelids try the sons of men.

⁵ Jehovah the righteous doth try. And the wicked and the lover of violence, Hath His soul hated,

⁶ He poureth on the wicked snares, fire, and brimstone, And a horrible wind [is] the portion of their cup.

⁷ For righteous [is] Jehovah, Righteousness He hath loved, The upright doth His countenance see!'
