8 You evil people are foolish. When will you learn your lesson? You are so stupid! You must try to understand.
9 God made our ears, so surely he can hear what is happening! He made our eyes, so surely he can see you!
10 The one who disciplines nations will surely correct you. He is the one who teaches us everything.
11 The Lord knows what people are thinking. He knows that their thoughts are like a puff of wind.
12 Lord, great blessings belong to those you discipline, to those you teach from your law.
13 You help them stay calm when trouble comes. You will help them until the wicked are put in their graves.
14 The Lord will not leave his people. He will not leave them without help.
