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.
To the chief Musician upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David. Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: [with] flattering lips [and] with a double heart do they speak.
The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, [and] the tongue that speaketh proud things:
Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips [are] our own: who [is] lord over us?
For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set [him] in safety [from him that] puffeth at him.
The words of the LORD [are] pure words: [as] silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
