Psalms 11:4–7
From His heavenly throne, the Lord observes all people, refining the righteous and preparing a cup of judgment for the wicked.
4 Yahweh is in his holy temple. Yahweh is on his throne in heaven. His eyes observe. His eyes examine the children of men.
5 Yahweh examines the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and him who loves violence.
6 On the wicked he will rain blazing coals; fire, sulfur, and scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.
7 For Yahweh is righteous. He loves righteousness. The upright shall see his face.
From His heavenly throne, the Lord observes all people, refining the righteous and preparing a cup of judgment for the wicked.
To provide a vertical perspective on earthly crises by revealing God's active role as an enthroned Judge who scrutinizes humanity and executes justice.
Taking Refuge in the LORD When Foundations Shake
When the foundations seem destroyed, the righteous take refuge in the LORD who still reigns, sees, tests, judges, and loves justice.
