9. He who implanted the ear, won’t he hear?He who formed the eye, won’t he see?
10. He who disciplines the nations, won’t he punish?He who teaches man knows.
11. The Lord knows the thoughts of man,that they are futile.
12. Blessed is the man whom you discipline, Lord,and teach out of your Torah;
13. that you may give him rest from the days of adversity,until the pit is dug for the wicked.
14. For the Lord won’t reject his people,neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15. For judgement will return to righteousness.All the upright in heart shall follow it.
16. Who will rise up for me against the wicked?Who will stand up for me against the evildoers?
17. Unless the Lord had been my help,my soul would have soon lived in silence.
18. When I said, “My foot is slipping!”Your loving kindness, Lord, held me up.
