If the foundations be destroyed, What can the righteous do?
Jehovah is in his holy temple; Jehovah, his throne is in heaven; His eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
Jehovah trieth the righteous; But the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, That seek him with the whole heart.
Yea, they do no unrighteousness; They walk in his ways.
Thou hast commanded (us) thy precepts, That we should observe them diligently.
There is that speaketh rashly like the piercings of a sword; But the tongue of the wise is health.
The tongue of the wise uttereth knowledge aright; But the mouth of fools poureth out folly.
