1 I n Jehovah have I put my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee a bird to your mountain?

عَلَى اللهِ أتَّكِلُ. فَكَيفَ تَقُولُونَ لِي: «اهرُبْ كَعَصفُورٍ إلَى جَبَلِكَ!»

2 F or behold, the wicked bend the bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may in darkness shoot at the upright in heart.

فَالأشرارُ يَختَبِئُونَ فِي الظَّلامِ، يَمُدُّونَ أقواسَهُمْ وَيُسَدِّدُونَ سِهامَهُمْ لِيُصِيبُوا أحشاءَ الإنسانِ المُستَقِيمِ.

3 I f the foundations be destroyed, what shall the righteous do?

ماذا يَفعَلُ الصّالِحُونَ إذا هَوَتِ الأساساتُ؟

4 J ehovah in the temple of his holiness; Jehovah,—his throne is in the heavens: his eyes behold, his eyelids try the children of men.

اللهُ فِي هَيكَلِهِ المُقَدَّسِ. عَرشُ اللهِ فِي السَّماءِ وَهُوَ يَرَى كُلَّ ما يَفعَلُهُ البَشَرُ.

5 J ehovah trieth the righteous one; but the wicked, and him that loveth violence, his soul hateth.

يَمتَحِنُ اللهُ الصّالِحِينَ، لَكِنَّهُ يُبغِضُ الأشرارَ العُنَفاءَ،

6 U pon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone; and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.

وَيُمطِرُ عَلَيهِمْ ناراً وَكِبرِيتاً. وَرِيحٌ لافِحَةٌ هِيَ كُلُّ نَصِيبِهِمْ.

7 F or righteous is Jehovah; he loveth righteousness, his countenance doth behold the upright.

اللهُ عادِلٌ وَيُحِبُّ الصّالِحِينَ. وَسَيُبصِرُ المُستَقِيمُونَ وَجْهَهُ.
