American Standard Version
"Jehovah trieth the righteous; But the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth. "
— Psalms 11:5, American Standard Version
“The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.”
“Yahweh examines the righteous, but the wicked and him who loves violence his soul hates.”
“The LORD approves of the godly, but he hates the wicked and those who love to do violence.”
“Who have said: We will magnify our tongue: our lips are our own: who is Lord over us?”
“The Lord puts the upright and the sinner to the test, but he has hate in his soul for the lover of violent acts.”
“The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.”
For, lo, the wicked bend the bow, They make ready their arrow upon the string, That they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart;
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.
Upon the wicked he will rain snares; Fire and brimstone and burning wind shall be the portion of their cup.
For Jehovah is righteous; he loveth righteousness: The upright shall behold his face.
