1-2 God, put an end to evil;avenging God, show your colors!Judge of the earth, take your stand;throw the book at the arrogant.
3-4 God, the wicked get away with murder—how long will you let this go on?They brag and boastand crow about their crimes!
5-7 They walk all over your people, God,exploit and abuse your precious people.They take out anyone who gets in their way;if they can’t use them, they kill them.They think, “God isn’t looking,Jacob’s God is out to lunch.”
8-11 Well, think again, you idiots,fools—how long before you get smart?Do you think Ear-Maker doesn’t hear,Eye-Shaper doesn’t see?Do you think the trainer of nations doesn’t correct,the teacher of Adam doesn’t know?God knows, all right—knows your stupidity,sees your shallowness.
