The Lord is in his holy Temple;
    the Lord sits on his throne in heaven.
·He sees what people do [L His eyes watch];
    ·he keeps his eye on them [L his gaze examines/tests people].
The Lord ·tests [examines] ·those who do right and those who do wrong [the righteous and the wicked],
    but he hates those who love ·to hurt others [violence].
He will ·send [L rain] hot coals and burning sulfur on the wicked.
    A ·whirlwind [scorching wind] is ·what they will get [L the portion of their cup; C an image of judgment; Is. 51:17, 22; Ezek. 23:31–33; Matt. 26:39].
