⁴The LORD is in His holy temple; the LORD’S throne is in heaven; His eyes see, His eyelids test the sons of mankind.

⁵The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked, And His soul hates one who loves violence.

⁶He will rain coals of fire upon the wicked, And brimstone and burning wind will be the portion of their cup.

⁷For the LORD is righteous, He loves righteousness; The upright will see His face.

¹Help, LORD, for the godly person has come to an end, For the faithful have disappeared from the sons of mankind.

²They speak lies to one another; They speak with flattering lips and a double heart.

³May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, The tongue that speaks great things;

⁴Who have said, “With our tongue we will prevail; Our lips are our own; who is lord over us?”

⁵“Because of the devastation of the poor, because of the groaning of the needy, Now I will arise,” says the LORD; “I will put him in the safety for which he longs.”

⁶The words of the LORD are pure words; Like silver refined in a furnace on the ground, filtered seven times.

⁷You, LORD, will keep them; You will protect him from this generation forever.
