  • 2. See, the bows of the evil-doers are bent, they make ready their arrows on the cord, so that they may send them secretly against the upright in heart.
  • 3. If the bases are broken down, what is the upright man to do?
  • 4. The Lord is in his holy Temple, the Lord's seat is in heaven; his eyes are watching and testing the children of men.
  • 5. The Lord puts the upright and the sinner to the test, but he has hate in his soul for the lover of violent acts.
  • 6. On the evil-doer he will send down fire and flames, and a burning wind; with these will their cup be full.
  • 7. For the Lord is upright; he is a lover of righteousness: the upright will see his face.
