For look! (A)The wicked bend their bow,
They make ready their arrow on the string,
That they may shoot [a]secretly at the upright in heart.
(B)If the foundations are destroyed,
What can the righteous do?

The Lord is in His holy temple,
The Lord’s (C)throne is in heaven;
(D)His eyes behold,
His eyelids test the sons of men.
