3
Lord, how long will the wicked, How long will the wicked triumph?
4
They utter speech, and speak insolent things; All the workers of iniquity boast in themselves.
5
They break in pieces Your people, O Lord, And afflict Your heritage.
6
They slay the widow and the stranger, And murder the fatherless.
7
Yet they say, "The Lord does not see, Nor does the God of Jacob understand."
8
Understand, you senseless among the people; And you fools, when will you be wise?
9
He who planted the ear, shall He not hear? He who formed the eye, shall He not see?
10
He who instructs the nations, shall He not correct, He who teaches man knowledge?
11
The Lord knows the thoughts of man, That they are futile.
12
Blessed is the man whom You instruct, O Lord, And teach out of Your law,
13
That You may give him rest from the days of adversity, Until the pit is dug for the wicked.
