Psalm 11:3-4
When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?’The Lord is in his holy temple; the Lord is on his heavenly throne. He observes everyone on earth; his eyes examine them.
"And we may be tempted to say: "how can that help? That's just what I was afraid of - he's light years away!" . But note the imagery, especially about the throne, eyes and eyelids. [This] picture does not imply Yahweh is removed but that he rules (throne); that throne is not the place of inactivity but of supremacy; it does not suggest distance but dominion. Yahweh's exaltedness or transcendence doesn't indicate distance or indifference but activity"
