Psalms 11:5 Context
3If the foundations bee destroyed: what can the righteous doe? 4The Lord is in his holy Temple, the Lords Throne is in heauen: his eyes beholde, his eye lids trie the children of men. 5The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loueth violence, his soule hateth. 6Upon the wicked hee shall raine snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup. 7For the righteous Lord loueth righteousnesse: his countenance doeth behold the vpright.
