2 Rise up, O
aJudge of the earth;
1Render punishment to the proud.
3 Lord,
ahow long will the wicked,
How long will the wicked triumph?
4 They
autter speech,
and speak insolent things;
All the workers of iniquity boast in themselves.
5 They break in pieces Your people, O
Lord,
And afflict Your heritage.
6 They slay the widow and the stranger,
And murder the fatherless.
7 aYet they say, “The
Lord does not see,
Nor does the God of Jacob
1 understand.”
8 Understand, you senseless among the people;
And
you fools, when will you be wise?
9 aHe who planted the ear, shall He not hear?
He who formed the eye, shall He not see?
10 He who
1 instructs the nations, shall He not correct,
He who teaches man knowledge?
