The LORD examines the righteous,
but his soul hates the wicked and him who loves violence.

Psalms 11:5 in context
Psalms 11:2–7

For, behold, the wicked bend their bows.
They set their arrows on the strings,
that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart.

If the foundations are destroyed,
what can the righteous do?
4
The LORD is in his holy temple.
The LORD is on his throne in heaven.
His eyes observe.
His eyes examine the children of men.
