3. How long shall the wicked, O Jehovah, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4. How long shall they utter and speak insolence--all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
5. They crush thy people, O Jehovah, and afflict thine inheritance;
6. They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless,
7. And say, Jah will not see, neither will the God of Jacob regard it.
8. Understand, ye brutish among the people; and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
9. He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10. He that instructeth the nations, shall not he correct--he that teacheth man knowledge?
11. Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
12. Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jah, and whom thou teachest out of thy law;
13. That thou mayest give him rest from the days of evil, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
