4The LORD is in His holy temple;
the LORD is on His heavenly throne.
His eyes are watching closely;
they examine the sons of men.
5The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked;
His soul hates the lover of violence.
6On the wicked He will rain down fiery coals and sulfur;
a scorching wind will be their portion.
7For the LORD is righteous; He loves justice.
The upright will see His face.
— Psalm 11:4-7
