9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear or he that made the eye, shall he not see?

10 Or he that nurtureth the heathen it is he that teacheth man man knowledge, shall not he punish?

11 The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man that they are but vain.

12 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Lord and teachest him in thy law;

13 That thou mayest give him patience in time of adversity until the pit be digged up for the ungodly.

14 For the Lord will not fail his people : neither will he forsake his inheritance;

15 Until righteousness turn again unto judgement all such as are true in heart shall follow it.

16 Who will rise up with me against the wicked or who will take my part against the evil doers?

17 If the Lord had not helped me it had not failed but my soul had been put to silence.

18 But when I said, My foot hath slipt : thy mercy, Lord, held me up.

19 In the multitude of the sorrows that I had in my heart: thy comforts have refreshed my soul.

20 Wilt thou have any

22 But the Lord is my refuge and my God is the strength of my confidence.

23 He shall recompense them their wickedness, and destroy them in their own malice yea, the Lord our God shall destroy them.
