Psalm 10

1 For the end, a Psalm of David.

In the Lord I have put my trust: how will ye say to my soul,

Flee to the mountains as a sparrow?

2 For behold the sinners have bent their bow,

they have prepared their arrows for the quiver,

to shoot [1]privily at the upright in heart.

3 For they have pulled down what thou didst frame,

but what hath the righteous done?

4 The Lord is in his holy temple,

as for the Lord, his throne is in heaven:

his eyes look upon the poor,

his eyelids try the sons of men.

5 The Lord trieth the righteous and the ungodly:

and he that loveth unrighteousness hateth his own soul.

6 He shall rain upon sinners snares,

fire, and brimstone, and a stormy blast shall be the portion of their cup.

7 For the Lord is righteous, and loveth [2]righteousness;

his face beholdeth uprightness.
