i1 [To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.] i0 par In Jehovah I put my trust; how can you say to my soul, Flee like a bird to the mountains?

i1 [To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.] i0 par The fool has said in his heart, There is no God! They are corrupt; they have done abominable works, there is no one who does good.

But if that wicked servant says in his heart, My master delays his coming,

he has not put out his money at interest, nor has he taken a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved.

And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.

Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

And you said, I shall be a queen forever; so you did not lay these things to heart, nor remember the latter end of it.

They say, Come, let us get wine and binge on strong drink; and tomorrow shall be like today; much more abundant.

For as thorns are woven together, and as their drunkards are drunken, they shall be devoured like fully dried straw.

But if that wicked servant says in his heart, My master delays his coming,

For when they say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall by no means escape.
