Psalm 11:4-6
New International Version
4 The Lord is in his holy temple;(A)
the Lord is on his heavenly throne.(B)
He observes everyone on earth;(C)
his eyes examine(D) them.
5 The Lord examines the righteous,(E)
but the wicked, those who love violence,
he hates with a passion.(F)
6 On the wicked he will rain
fiery coals and burning sulfur;(G)
a scorching wind(H) will be their lot.
Psalm 11:4-6
The Message
4-6 But God hasn’t moved to the mountains;
his holy address hasn’t changed.
He’s in charge, as always, his eyes
taking everything in, his eyelids
Unblinking, examining Adam’s flesh and blood
inside and out, not missing a thing.
He tests the good and the bad alike;
if anyone cheats, God’s outraged.
Fail the test and you’re out,
out in a hail of firestones,
Drinking from a canteen
filled with hot desert wind.
