1 Al Músico principal: Salmo de David. EN Jehová he confiado; ¿cómo decís á mi alma: Escapa al monte [cual] ave?

3 Si fueren destruídos los fundamentos, ¿qué ha de hacer el justo?
4 Jehová en el templo de su santidad: la silla de Jehová está en el cielo: sus ojos ven, sus párpados examinan á los hijos de los hombres.
