4 The Lord is in his holy temple;c

the Lord—his throne is in heaven.d

His eyes watch; his gazeA examines everyone.B

5 The Lord examines the righteous, but he hates the wicked

andC those who love violence.e

6 Let him rain burning coalsD and sulfur on the wicked;

let a scorching wind be the portion in their cup.f

7 For the Lord is righteous; he loves righteous deeds.

The upright will see his face.g
