10He who disciplines the nations, does he not correct? He is the one who gives knowledge to man.
11Yahweh knows the thoughts of men, that they are vapor.
12Blessed is the one whom you instruct, Yahweh, the one whom you teach from your law.
13You give him rest in times of trouble until a pit is dug for the wicked.
14For Yahweh will not forsake his people or abandon his inheritance.
15For judgment will again be righteous; and all the upright in heart will follow it.
16Who will rise up to defend me against the evildoers? Who will stand up for me against the wicked?
17Unless Yahweh had been my help, I would soon be lying down in the place of silence.
18When I said, “My foot is slipping,” Your covenant faithfulness, Yahweh, held me up.
