Psalms 11:4
Compare all
2 For look! aThe wicked bend their bow,
They make ready their arrow on the string,
That they may shoot1 secretly at the upright in heart. 
3 aIf the foundations are destroyed,
What can the righteous do? 
4 The Lord is in His holy temple,
The Lord’s athrone is in heaven;
bHis eyes behold,
His eyelids test the sons of men. 
5 The Lord atests the righteous,
But the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates. 
6 Upon the wicked He will rain coals;
Fire and brimstone and a burning wind
aShall be1 the portion of their cup. 
7 For the Lord is righteous,
He aloves righteousness;
1His countenance beholds the upright.

Psalms 11:4

The Lord is in his holy temple - He is still to be sought and found in the place vhere he has registered his name. Though the priests be destroyed, the God in whose worship they were employed still lives, and is to be found in his temple by his upright worshippers. And he tries the heart and the reins of both sinners and saints. Nothing can pass without his notice. I may expect his presence in the temple; he has not promised to meet me in the mountain.
