Psalm 11:3-7

The Passion Translation

³ What can the righteous accomplish
when truth’s pillars are destroyed and law and order collapse?
⁴ Yet the Eternal One is never shaken—^[a]
he is still found in his temple of holiness,
reigning as Lord and King over all.
He is closely watching everything that happens.
And with a glance, his eyes examine every heart.^[b]
For his heavenly rule will prevail over all.
⁵ He will test both the righteous and the wicked,
exposing each heart.
God’s very soul detests those who love to resort to violence.
⁶ He will rain down upon them judgment for their sins.
A scorching wind will be their portion and lot in life.
⁷ But remember this: the Righteous Lord loves
what is right and just, and every godly one
will come into his presence and gaze upon his face!
