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.
14. For Jehovah will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance;
15. For judgment shall return unto righteousness, and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16. Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity?
17. If Jehovah had not been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
