Psalms 73:8-11 in English

⁸ They scoff, and in wickedness utter oppression: They speak loftily.

⁹ They have set their mouth in the heavens, And their tongue walketh through the earth.

¹⁰ Therefore his people return hither: And waters of a full cup are drained by them.

¹¹ And they say, How doth God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?

⁸ They have said in their heart, even all their kindred together, Come, let us abolish the feasts of the Lord from the earth.

⁹ We have not seen our signs; there is no longer a prophet; and God will not know us any more.

¹⁰ How long, O God, shall the enemy reproach? shall the enemy provoke thy name for ever?

¹¹ Wherefore turnest thou away thine hand, and thy right hand from the midst of thy bosom for ever?
