2. Rise up, O judge of the earth;repay to the proud what they deserve!
3. O Lord, how long shall the wicked,how long shall the wicked exult?
4. They pour out their arrogant words;all the evildoers boast.
5. They crush your people, O Lord,and afflict your heritage.
6. They kill the widow and the sojourner,and murder the fatherless;
7. and they say, “The Lord does not see;the God of Jacob does not perceive.”
8. Understand, O dullest of the people!Fools, when will you be wise?
9. He who planted the ear, does he not hear?He who formed the eye, does he not see?
10. He who disciplines the nations, does he not rebuke?He who teaches man knowledge—
11. the Lord—knows the thoughts of man,that they are but a breath.
