The LORD is in his holy temple; the LORD is on his heavenly throne. He observes the sons of men; his eyes examine them.
|
|
5.
The LORD examines the righteous, but the wicked and those who love violence his soul hates.

On the wicked he will rain fiery coals and burning sulfur; a scorching wind will be their lot.
|

7.
For the LORD is righteous, he loves justice; upright men will see his face.
