⁵ They crush your people, O Lord,
   and afflict your heritage.
⁶ They kill the widow and the stranger,
   they murder the orphan,
⁷ and they say, ‘The Lord does not see;
   the God of Jacob does not perceive.’

⁸ Understand, O dullest of the people;
   fools, when will you be wise?
⁹ He who planted the ear, does he not hear?
He who formed the eye, does he not see?
¹⁰ He who disciplines the nations,
he who teaches knowledge to humankind,
   does he not chastise?
¹¹ The Lord knows our thoughts,^*
   that they are but an empty breath.
