1En Jehová he confiado; ¿Cómo decís a mi alma, Que escape al monte cual ave?
2Porque he aquí, los malos tienden el arco, Disponen sus saetas sobre la cuerda, Para asaetear en oculto a los rectos de corazón.
3Si fueren destruidos los fundamentos, ¿Qué ha de hacer el justo?
4Jehová está en su santo templo; Jehová tiene en el cielo su trono; Sus ojos ven, sus párpados examinan a los hijos de los hombres.
5Jehová prueba al justo; Pero al malo y al que ama la violencia, su alma los aborrece.
6Sobre los malos hará llover calamidades; Fuego, azufre y viento abrasador será la porción del cáliz de ellos.
7Porque Jehová es justo, y ama la justicia; El hombre recto mirará su rostro.

Literally, "The foundations (that is, of good order and law) will be destroyed, what has the righteous done (to sustain them)?" All his efforts have failed.

temple . . . heaven--The connection seems to denote God's heavenly residence; the term used is taken from the place of His visible earthly abode (Psa 2:6; Psa 3:4; Psa 5:7). Thence He inspects men with close scrutiny.

Their punishment is described by vivid figures denoting abundant, sudden, furious, and utter destruction (compare Gen 19:24; Job 18:15; Psa 7:15; Psa 9:15).

his countenance--literally, "their faces," a use of the plural applied to God, as in Gen 1:26; Gen 3:22; Gen 11:7; Isa 6:8, &c., denoting the fulness of His perfections, or more probably originating in a reference to the trinity of persons. "Faces" is used as "eyes" (Psa 11:4), expressing here God's complacency towards the upright (compare Psa 34:15-16).
