1Dem Musikmeister. Von David. Bei Jahwe suche ich Zuflucht. Wie könnt ihr zu mir sagen: Flieht auf eure Berge wie Vögel!
2Denn fürwahr, die Gottlosen spannen den Bogen, haben ihren Pfeil auf der Sehne zurechtgelegt, um im Dunkeln auf die zu schießen, die redliches Herzens sind.
3Wenn die Grundpfeiler eingerissen werden - was hat der Fromme ausgerichtet?
4Jahwe in seinem heiligen Palast, Jahwe, dessen Thron im Himmel ist -seine Augen sehen, seine Wimpern prüfen die Menschenkinder.
5Jahwe prüft den Frommen; aber den Gottlosen und den, der Gewaltthat liebt, haßt seine Seele.
6Er läßt auf die Gottlosen Schlingen regnen; Feuer und Schwefel und Zornhauch sind ihr Becherteil.
7Denn Jahwe ist gerecht, gerechte Entscheidungen liebt er; Redliche schauen sein Angesicht!
Reina-Valera 1909
1Al Músico principal: Salmo de David. EN Jehová he confiado; ¿cómo decís á mi alma: Escapa al monte cual ave?
2Porque he aquí, los malos flecharon el arco, apercibieron sus saetas sobre la cuerda, para asaetear en oculto á los rectos de corazón.
3Si fueren destruídos los fundamentos, ¿qué ha de hacer el justo?
4Jehová en el templo de su santidad: la silla de Jehová está en el cielo: sus ojos ven, sus párpados examinan á los hijos de los hombres.
5Jehová prueba al justo; empero al malo y al que ama la violencia, su alma aborrece.
6Sobre los malos lloverá lazos; fuego y azufre, con vientos de torbellinos, será la porción del cáliz de ellos.
7Porque el justo Jehová ama la justicia: al recto mirará su rostro.
King James Version
1In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye 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 privily shoot at the upright in heart.
3If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
4The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD’s throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
5The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
6Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
7For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.
World English Bible
1In the LORD, I take refuge. How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your mountain”?
2For, behold, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrows on the strings, that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.
3If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?
4The LORD is in his holy temple. The LORD is on his throne in heaven. His eyes observe. His eyes examine the children of men.
5The LORD examines the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and him who loves violence.
6On the wicked he will rain blazing coals; fire, sulfur, and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.
7For the LORD is righteous. He loves righteousness. The upright shall see his face.
