8 You pay attention, O brutes among the people. And you fools, when you will show insight?
9 Will the one who planted the ear not hear? Will the one who formed the eye not see?
10 Will the one who instructs nations not rebuke, the one who teaches humankind knowledge?
11 Yahweh knows the thoughts of humankind, that they are to no purpose.
12 Blessed is the man, O Yah, whom you instruct and teach from your law,
13 to give him rest from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked.
14 For Yahweh will not abandon his people, nor forsake his inheritance.
