3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?

3 There is nothing a good person can do when everything falls apart."

4 The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD'S throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.

4 The Lord is in his holy temple; he has his throne in heaven. He watches people everywhere and knows what they are doing.

5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

5 He examines the good and the wicked alike; the lawless he hates with all his heart.

6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.

6 He sends down flaming coals and burning sulfur on the wicked; he punishes them with scorching winds.

7 For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.

7 The Lord is righteous and loves good deeds; those who do them will live in his presence.
