2 WBS For lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart. BSB BSB: For behold, the wicked bend their bows. They set their arrow on the string to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.
3 WBS If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? BSB BSB: If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?”
4 WBS The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD'S throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try the children of men. BSB BSB: The LORD is in His holy temple; the LORD is on His heavenly throne. His eyes are watching closely; they examine the sons of men.
5 WBS The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth. BSB BSB: The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked; His soul hates the lover of violence.
