New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures — With References (Rbi8, en_US, 1984)

To the director. Of David.

^{1 *1} In Jehovah I have taken refuge. How dare YOU men say to my soul: “Flee as a bird to YOUR mountain!”

² For, look! the wicked ones themselves bend the bow, They do make ready their arrow upon the bowstring, To shoot in the gloom at the ones upright in heart.

³ When the foundations themselves are torn down, What must anyone righteous do?

⁴ Jehovah is in his holy temple. Jehovah—in the heavens is his throne. His own eyes behold, his own beaming eyes^*1 examine the sons of men.^*2

⁵ Jehovah himself examines the righteous one as well as the wicked one, And anyone loving violence His soul certainly hates.

⁶ He will rain down upon the wicked ones traps, fire and sulphur And a scorching wind, as the portion of their cup.

⁷ For Jehovah is righteous; he does love righteous acts. The upright are the ones that will behold his face.
