3How long shall the wicked, O Jehovah, how long shall the wicked triumph? 4[How long] shall they utter [and] speak insolence — all the workers of iniquity boast themselves? They crush thy people, O Jehovah, and afflict thine inheritance; 6They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless, 7And say, Jah will not see, neither will the God of Jacob regard [it].
