| The Holy Bible: King James Version. 2000. | | The Psalms | | 11 |
The Refuge of the Upright |
| To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. |
|
| 1 |
In the LORD put I my trust:
| | |
how say ye to my soul, |
|
Flee as a bird to your mountain? |
|
|
| 2 |
For, lo, the wicked bend their bow,
| | |
they make ready their arrow upon the string, |
|
that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart. |
|
|
| 3 |
If the foundations be 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 try, the children of men. |
|
|
| 5 |
The LORD trieth the righteous:
| | |
but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth. |
|
|
| 6 |
Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone,
| | |
and a horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup. |
|
|
| 7 |
For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness;
| | |
his countenance doth behold the upright. |
|
