¹In the Lord -Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] put I my trust: how say you2f to my soul, Flee [as] a bird to your mountain?

²For, lo, the wicked bend [their] bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may secretly shoot at the upright in heart.

³If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?

⁴The Lord -Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] [is] in his holy temple, the Lord -Yehōvah’s [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] throne [is] in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.

⁵The Lord -Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] tries the righteous: but the wicked and him that loves violence his soul hates.

⁶Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and sulfur, and an horrible tempest: [this shall be] the portion of their cup.

⁷For the righteous Lord -Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] loves righteousness; his Countenance (Face, appearance; show favor) does behold the upright.
