4The Lord is in his holy temple.

The Lord is on his throne in heaven.

He watches all people.

His eyes study them.

5The Lord watches over those who do what is right.

But he hates sinful people and those who love to hurt others.

6He will pour out flaming coals and burning sulfur

on those who do what is wrong.

A hot and dry wind will destroy them.

7The Lord always does what is right.

So he loves it when people do what is fair.

Those who are honest will enjoy his blessing.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

The Lord is in his holy temple;

the Lord’s throne is in heaven;

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.

the Lord is on his heavenly throne.

He observes everyone on earth;

his eyes examine them.

but the wicked, those who love violence,

he hates with a passion.

On the wicked he will rain

fiery coals and burning sulfur;

a scorching wind will be their lot.

For the Lord is righteous,

he loves justice;

the upright will see his face.

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.
