his eyes see, his eyelids test the children of man.

The Lord tests the righteous,

but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence.

Let him rain coals on the wicked;

fire and sulfur and a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.

For the Lord is righteous;

he loves righteous deeds;

the upright shall behold his face.

but the wicked, those who love violence,

he hates with a passion.

On the wicked he will rain

a scorching wind will be their lot.

For the Lord is righteous,

he loves justice;

the upright will see his face.

but the wicked and the lover of violence

his soul hates.

The upright shall see his face.

KJV 1900King James Version

The Lord is in his holy temple,

The Lord’s throne is in heaven:

His eyes behold,

His eyelids try, the children of men.

The Lord trieth the righteous:

But the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone,

And an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.

For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness;

His countenance doth behold the upright.
