Psalms 11:5

Read in context

Psalms 11:3–7 · Berean Standard Bible

3 If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?”

4 The LORD is in His holy temple; the LORD is on His heavenly throne. His eyes are watching closely; they examine the sons of men.

5 The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked; His soul hates the lover of violence.

6 On the wicked He will rain down fiery coals and sulfur; a scorching wind will be their portion.

7 For the LORD is righteous; He loves justice. The upright will see His face.
