| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3O LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked exult? |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4They pour out their arrogant words; all the evildoers boast. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5They crush your people, O LORD, and afflict your heritage. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6They kill the widow and the sojourner, and murder the fatherless; |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7and they say, “The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob does not perceive.” |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Understand, O dullest of the people! Fools, when will you be wise? |

| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10He who disciplines the nations, does he not rebuke? He who teaches man knowledge— |

| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Blessed is the man whom you discipline, O LORD, and whom you teach out of your law, |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13to give him rest from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14For the LORD will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage; |

| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Who rises up for me against the wicked? Who stands up for me against evildoers? |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17If the LORD had not been my help, my soul would soon have lived in the land of silence. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18When I thought, “My foot slips,” your steadfast love, O LORD, held me up. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul. |

| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21They band together against the life of the righteous and condemn the innocent to death. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22But the LORD has become my stronghold, and my God the rock of my refuge. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23He will bring back on them their iniquity and wipe them out for their wickedness; the LORD our God will wipe them out. |
