IN THE Lord put I my trust : how say ye then to my soul, that she should flee as a bird unto the hill?
² For lo, the ungodly bend their bow, and make ready their arrows within the quiver : that they may privily shoot at them which are true of heart.
³ For the foundations will be cast down : and what hath the righteous done?
⁴ The Lord is in his holy temple : the Lord’s seat is in heaven.
⁵ His eyes consider the poor : and his eye-lids try the children of men.
⁶ The Lord alloweth the righteous : but the ungodly, and him that delighteth in wickedness, doth his soul abhor.
⁷ Upon the ungodly he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, storm and tempest : this shall be their portion to drink.
⁸ For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness : his countenance will behold the thing that is just.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son : and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be : world without end. Amen.
