I triste in the Lord; hou seien ye to my soule, Passe thou ouere in to an hil, as a sparowe doith? BSB BSB: For the choirmaster. Of David. In the LORD I take refuge. How then can you say to me: “Flee like a bird to your mountain!
2 WYC For lo! synneris han bent a bouwe; thei han maad redi her arowis in an arowe caas; `for to schete in derknesse riytful men in herte. BSB BSB: For behold, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrow on the string to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.

4 WYC The Lord is in his hooli temple; he is Lord, his seete is in heuene. Hise iyen biholden on a pore man; hise iyelidis axen the sones of men. BSB BSB: The LORD is in His holy temple; the LORD is on His heavenly throne. His eyes are watching closely; they examine the sons of men.
5 WYC The Lord axith a iust man, and vnfeithful man; but he, that loueth wickidnesse, hatith his soule. BSB BSB: The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked; His soul hates the lover of violence.
6 WYC He schal reyne snaris on `synful men; fier, brymston, and the spirit of tempestis ben the part of the cuppe of hem. BSB BSB: On the wicked He will rain down fiery coals and sulfur; a scorching wind will be their portion.
