- 3. LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked boast?
- 4. They shall utter and speak unjust things; they shall speak all kinds of evil things.
- 5. For they have humbled thy people, O LORD, and subdued thine heritage.
- 6. They slay the widow and the innocent, and murder the fatherless.
- 7. Yet they say, The LORD does not see, neither does the God of Jacob regard it.

- 9. He who planted the ear, shall he not hear? He who formed the eye, shall he not see?

- 11. The LORD knows the thoughts of man; they are like a breath.
- 12. ¶ Blessed is the man whom thou dost chasten, O LORD, and teachest out of thy law;
- 13. That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.

- 19. In the multitude of my sorrows, within my heart thy comforts delight my soul.
- 20. Evil rulers shall not have fellowship with thee, for they have framed mischief against thy law.
- 21. They lay snares to trap the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
- 22. But the LORD is my defense; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
- 23. And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall silence them in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall silence them.
