← Psalms 11:2	Psalms 11:3 (KJV)	Psalms 11:4 →
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.	If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?	The LORD [is] in his holy temple, the LORD'S throne [is] in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
