NEW KING JAMES VERSION
Prior Chapter   |   Next Chapter

1

In the LORD I put my trust;
How can you say to my soul,
“Flee as a bird to your mountain”?
 

2

For look!  The wicked bend their bow,
They make ready their arrow on the string,
That they may shoot secretly at the upright in heart.
 

3

If the foundations are destroyed,
What can the righteous do?
 

4

The LORD is in His holy temple,
The LORD’s throne is in heaven;
His eyes behold,
His eyelids test the sons of men.
 

5

The LORD tests the righteous,
But the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates.
 

6

Upon the wicked He will rain coals;
Fire and brimstone and a burning wind
Shall be the portion of their cup.
 

7

For the LORD is righteous,
He loves righteousness;
His countenance beholds the upright.
