R (see 7b) The just will gaze on your face, O Lord.
Or: Alleluia.
The Lord is in his holy temple;
the Lord’s throne is in heaven.
His eyes behold,
his searching glance is on mankind. R
The Lord searches the just and the wicked;
the lover of violence he hates.
For the Lord is just, he loves just deeds;
the upright shall see his face. R
Alleluia, alleluia. I will send to you the Spirit of truth, says the Lord;/ he will guide you to all truth. Alleluia, alleluia.
