- 5. Your people are crushed by them, O Lord, your heritage is troubled,
- 6. They put to death the widow and the guest, they take the lives of children who have no father;
- 7. And they say, Jah will not see it, the God of Jacob will not give thought to it.
- 8. Give your mind to my words, you who are without wisdom among the people; you foolish men, when will you be wise?

- 19. Among all my troubled thoughts, your comforts are the delight of my soul.
- 20. What part with you has the seat of sin, which makes evil into a law?
- 21. They are banded together against the soul of the upright, to give decisions against those who have done no wrong.
- 22. But the Lord is my safe resting-place; my God is the Rock where I am safe.
- 23. And he has made their evil designs come back on themselves, cutting them off in their sin; the Lord our God will put an end to them.
