3How long, O LORD! shall the wicked, How long shall the wicked triumph?
4How long shall their lips pour forth insolence? How long shall all the evil-doers boast?
5O LORD! they trample upon thy people, And oppress thine inheritance!
6They slay the widow, and the stranger, And murder the fatherless;
7And they say, “The LORD doth not see, The God of Jacob doth not regard!”
8Be instructed, ye most stupid of mankind! O when, ye fools, will ye be wise?
9He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10He that chastiseth nations, shall not he punish? He that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
11The LORD knoweth the thoughts of men, That they are vanity.
12Happy the man, O LORD! whom thou correctest, Whom by thy teaching thou makest wise;
13To give him peace in the days of adversity, Until a pit be digged for the wicked!
14For the LORD will not forsake his people, Nor abandon his own inheritance.
15For judgment shall return to justice, And all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evil-doers?
17If the LORD had not been my help, I had well nigh dwelt in the land of silence.
18When I think that my foot is slipping, Thy goodness, O LORD! holdeth me up.
19In the multitude of anxieties within me, Thy consolations revive my soul.
