In Domino confido. The just man's confidence in God in the midst of persecutions.

 1 Unto the end. A psalm for David.
In finem. Psalmus 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?
In Domino confido; quomodo dicitis animae meae : Transmigra in montem sicut passer?

 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.
Quoniam ecce peccatores intenderunt arcum; paraverunt sagittas suas in pharetra, ut sagittent in obscuro rectos corde;

 4 For they have destroyed the things which thou hast made: but what has the just man done?
quoniam quae perfecisti destruxerunt; justus autem quid fecit?

 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.
Dominus in templo sancto suo; Dominus in caelo sedes ejus. Oculi ejus in pauperem respiciunt, palpebrae ejus interrogant filios hominum.

 6 The Lord trieth the just and the wicked: but he that loveth iniquity hateth his own soul.
Dominus interrogat justum et impium; qui autem diligit iniquitatem, odit animam suam.

 7 He shall rain snares upon sinners: fire and brimstone and storms of winds shall be the portion of their cup.
Pluet super peccatores laqueos; ignis et sulphur, et spiritus procellarum, pars calicis eorum.

 8 For the Lord is just, and hath loved justice: his countenance hath beheld righteousness.
Quoniam justus Dominus, et justitias dilexit : aequitatem vidit vultus ejus.
