The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD's throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.

Verse 4 is found in chapter 11 of Psalms. Psalm 11 contrasts human advice to flee with the psalmist’s confidence in God’s sovereignty. Even when social foundations seem destroyed and violence prevails, the Lord remains in his temple and examines human beings. Judgment upon the wicked and the affirmation that the righteous will behold God’s face show that ultimate stability does not depend on political or social conditions.

Der HERR ist in seinem heiligen Tempel, des HERRN Stuhl ist im Himmel; seine Augen sehen darauf, seine Augenlider prüfen die Menschenkinder.
Jehová en el templo de su santidad: La silla de Jehová está en el cielo: Sus ojos ven, sus párpados examinan a los hijos de los hombres.
Jehová está en su santo templo; Jehová tiene su trono en los cielos. Sus ojos contemplan, sus párpados examinan a los seres humanos.
L'Eternel est dans son saint temple, L'Eternel a son trône dans les cieux; Ses yeux regardent, Ses paupières sondent les fils de l'homme.
Il Signore è nel Tempio della sua santità; Il trono del Signore è ne’ cieli; I suoi occhi veggono, Le sue palpebre esaminano i figliuoli degli uomini.
O SENHOR está no seu santo templo, o trono do SENHOR está nos céus; os seus olhos estão atentos, e as suas pálpebras provam os filhos dos homens.
耶和華在他的聖殿裏, 耶和華在天上的寶座上; 他的眼睛察看, 他的眼目 察驗世人。
