6. They kill widow and stranger, and they murder orphans,
7. while they say, “Yah does not see,” and “The God of Jacob does not pay attention.”
8. You pay attention, O brutes among the people. And you fools, when you will show insight?
9. Will the one who planted the ear not hear? Will the one who formed the eye not see?
10. Will the one who instructs nations not rebuke, the one who teaches humankind knowledge?
11. Yahweh knows the thoughts of humankind, that they are to no purpose.
12. Blessed is the man, O Yah, whom you instruct and teach from your law,
13. to give him rest from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked.
14. For Yahweh will not abandon his people, nor forsake his inheritance.
15. For judgment will return to righteousness, and all the upright in heart will follow after it.
16. Who rose up for me against the wicked? Who stood up for me against the workers of iniquity?
17. If Yahweh had not been my help, my soul would soon have dwelt in silence.
18. When I thought, “My foot is slipping,” your loyal love, O Yahweh, supported me.
19. When my troubled thoughts were many within me, your consolations cheered my soul.
