For lo, the wicked bend their bow,Line 2
their shafts on string they fit:
That those who upright are in heart
they privily may hit.
If the foundations be destroy'd,Line 3
what hath the righteous done?
God in his holy Temple is,Line 4
in heaven is his throne:
His eyes do see, his eye-lids try
mens sons. The just he proves:Line 5
But his soul hates the wicked man,
and him that violence loves.
Snares, fire and brimstone, furious stormsLine 6
on sinners he shall rain:
This, as the portion of their cup,
doth unto them pertain.
Because the Lord most righteous dothLine 7
in righteousnesse delight,
And with a pleasant countenance
beholdeth the upright.
