1Unto the end. A psalm for David.
1Why, O LORD, do You stand far off? Why do You hide in times of trouble?
2In the Lord I put my trust: how then do you say to my soul: Get thee away from hence to the mountain like a sparrow?
2In pride the wicked pursue the needy; let them be caught in the schemes they devise.
3For, lo, the wicked have bent their bow; they have prepared their arrows in the quiver; to shoot in the dark the upright of heart.
3For the wicked man boasts in the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.
4For they have destroyed the things which thou hast made: but what has the just man done?
4In his pride the wicked man does not seek Him; in all his schemes there is no God.
5The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord’s throne is in heaven. His eyes look on the poor man: his eyelids examine the sons of men.
5He is secure in his ways at all times; Your lofty judgments are far from him; he sneers at all his foes.
6The Lord trieth the just and the wicked: but he that loveth iniquity hateth his own soul.
6He says to himself, “I will not be moved; from age to age I am free of distress.”
7He shall rain snares upon sinners: fire and brimstone and storms of winds shall be the portion of their cup.
7His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and violence; trouble and malice are under his tongue.
8For the Lord is just, and hath loved justice: his countenance hath beheld righteousness.
8He lies in wait near the villages; in ambush he slays the innocent; his eyes watch in stealth for the helpless.
