1 In Yahawah (), I take chasah (refuge). How can you amar (spoke) to my napash (soul), “nawad (flee) as a tzapawar (bird) to your har (mountain)”!
2 For, behold, the rashai (wicked) darak (bend) their qashath (bows). They kawan (set) their chatz (arrows) on the yathar (strings), that they may yarah (shoot) in apal (darkness) at the yashar (upright) in lab (heart).
3 If the shathawath (foundations) are haras (destroyed), what can the tzadayaq (righteous) pail (do)?
4 Yahawah () is in his qadash (set apart / make holy) hayakal (temple). Yahawah () is on his kasaa (throne) in shamayam (Shamayam / Heavens). His iyan (eye) observe. His ipaip (eyes) bachan (examine) the banay (children) of adam (men).
5 Yahawah () bachan (examines) the tzadayaq (righteous), but the rashai (wicked) and him who ahab (love) chamas (violence) his napash (soul) shanaa (hate).
6 On the rashai (wicked) he will matar (rain) blazing coals; ash (fire), sulfur, and scorching rawach (spirit / wind) shall be the manath (portion) of their kawas (cup).
7 For Yahawah () is tzadayaq (righteous). He ahab (love) tzadaqah (righteousness). The yashar (upright) shall chazah (see) his panayam (face).
