The Lord is in his holy temple;
    he has his throne in heaven.
He watches people everywhere
    and knows what they are doing.
He examines the good and the wicked alike;
    the lawless he hates with all his heart.

He sends down flaming coals[a] and burning sulfur on the wicked;
    he punishes them with scorching winds.
The Lord is righteous and loves good deeds;
    those who do them will live in his presence.
