"If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?"
If the foundation of a house is destroyed, how will it stand? But what is the foundation spoken of here? I believe that is the intended question. In other words, what is the foundation upon which one is standing or living? The Lord tests the children of man (v4). How? By shaking one's foundation. If it is man centered, then it will be destroyed and one will receive "fire and sulfure and a scorching wind" (v6). But if the foundation of the righteous is in the Lord, whose throne is in heaven, then it will remain and they will behold his face (v7).
