Psalms 11:5 in Context — Psalms 11

3 Si fueren destruídos los fundamentos, ¿qué ha de hacer el justo?

4 Jehová en el templo de su santidad: la silla de Jehová está en el cielo: sus ojos ven, sus párpados examinan á los hijos de los hombres.

5 Jehová prueba al justo; empero al malo y al que ama la violencia, su alma aborrece.

6 Sobre los malos lloverá lazos; fuego y azufre, con vientos de torbellinos, será la porción del cáliz de ellos.

7 Porque el justo Jehová ama la justicia: al recto mirará su rostro.
