His Eyes Behold the Children of Men

 1.  In the Eternal I put all my trust;
     How can you say, to a mountain escape;
     Flee like a bird from the peril, in haste?
     See how the wicked aim with their bow;
     Furtively shoot at the upright in heart!
     Impious men who wait in the dark.

 2.  When the foundations are falling apart,
     What can the righteous man do in this plight?
     Ah, the Eternal is there on His throne;
     His eyes behold the children of men;
     Testing and proving the righteous in heart;
     Requiting evil, violent men.

 3.  Soon the Eternal shall send from above
     Fire, hail and brimstone and scorching hot winds;
     This is the portion of their cup to be;
     For the Eternal loves righteousness deeds;
     Those who are upright shall look on His face;
     He looks on them and favor imparts.
