10 The One who instructs nations,the One who teaches man knowledge —does He not discipline?
11 The Lord knows man’s thoughts;they are meaningless.
12 Lord, happy is the man You disciplineand teach from Your law
13 to give him relief from troubled timesuntil a pit is dug for the wicked.
14 The Lord will not forsake His peopleor abandon His heritage,
15 for justice will again be righteous,and all the upright in heart will follow it.
16 Who stands up for me against the wicked?Who takes a stand for me against evildoers?
