5 They crush your people, O Lord, ♦︎
and afflict your heritage.
6 They murder the widow and the stranger; ♦︎
the orphans they put to death.
7 And yet they say, ‘The Lord will not see, ♦︎
neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.’
8 Consider, most stupid of people; ♦︎
you fools, when will you understand?
9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? ♦︎
He that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10 He who corrects the nations, shall he not punish? ♦︎
He who teaches the peoples, does he lack knowledge?
11 The Lord knows every human thought, ♦︎
that they are but a breath.
