Psalms, 10
The just man's confidence in God in the midst of persecutions.
In Domino confido.
[1] Unto the end. A psalm to David. •
[2] In the Lord I put my trust: how then do you say to my soul: Get thee away from hence to the mountain, like a sparrow. •
[3] For, lo, the wicked have bent their bow: they have prepared their arrows in the quiver, to shoot in the dark the upright of heart. •
[4] For they have destroyed the things which thou hast made: but what has the just man done? •
[5] The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord's throne is in heaven. His eyes look on the poor man: his eyelids examine the sons of men. •
[6] The Lord trieth the just and the wicked: but he that loveth iniquity, hateth his own soul. •
[7] He shall rain snares upon sinners: fire and brimstone, and storms of winds, shall be the portion of their cup. •
[8] For the Lord is just, and hath loved justice: his countenance hath beheld righteousness. •
