2 - For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
3 - If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
4 - The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD'S throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
5 - The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
6 - Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
7 - For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.
