1  For the Leader. A Psalm of David. In YHWH have I taken refuge; how say ye to my soul: 'Flee thou! to your mountain, ye birds'?

title  Unto the end. A Psalm of David.

1  I trust in the Lord. How can you say to my soul, “Sojourn to the mountain, like a sparrow.”

1  IN the LORD put I my trust; how say you to me, Flee as a bird to the mountains?

2  For, lo, the wicked bend the bow, they have made ready their arrow upon the string, that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.

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

3  When the foundations are destroyed, what hath the righteous wrought?

3  For they have pulled down what thou didst frame, but what has the righteous done?

3  For if they have destroyed the foundations which the LORD has prepared, what can the righteous do?

4  YHWH is in His holy temple, YHWH, His throne is in heaven; His eyes behold, His eyelids try, the children of men.

4  The 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.

5  YHWH trieth the righteous; but the wicked and him that loveth violence His soul hateth.

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

Ps10:5  The Lord questions the just and the impious. Yet he who loves iniquity, hates his own soul.

6  Upon the wicked He will cause to rain coals; fire and brimstone and burning wind shall be the portion of their cup.

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

7  For YHWH is righteous, He loveth righteousness; the upright shall behold His face.

7  For the Lord is righteous, and loves righteousness; his face beholds uprightness.

Ps10:7  For the Lord is just, and he has chosen justice. His countenance has beheld equity.
