根基若毀壞，義人還能做什麼呢？
耶和華在他的聖殿裡；耶和華的寶座在天上；他的慧眼察看世人。

（大衛的詩，交與伶長。）我是投靠耶和華；你們怎麼對我說：你當像鳥飛往你的山去。
看哪，惡人彎弓，把箭搭在弦上，要在暗中射那心裡正直的人。
根基若毀壞，義人還能做什麼呢？
耶和華在他的聖殿裡；耶和華的寶座在天上；他的慧眼察看世人。
耶和華試驗義人；惟有惡人和喜愛強暴的人，他心裡恨惡。
他要向惡人密布網羅；有烈火、硫磺、熱風，作他們杯中的分。
因為耶和華是公義的，他喜愛公義；正直人必得見他的面。

<For the chief music-maker. Of David.>
In the Lord put I my faith; how will you say to my soul, Go in flight like a bird to the mountain?
See, the bows of the evil-doers are bent, they make ready their arrows on the cord, so that they may send them secretly against the upright in heart.
If the bases are broken down, what is the upright man to do?
The Lord is in his holy Temple, the Lord's seat is in heaven; his eyes are watching and testing the children of men.
The Lord puts the upright and the sinner to the test, but he has hate in his soul for the lover of violent acts.
On the evil-doer he will send down fire and flames, and a burning wind; with these will their cup be full.
For the Lord is upright; he is a lover of righteousness: the upright will see his face.
