הֲנֹטַע אֹזֶן הֲלֹא יִשְׁמָע אִם־יֹצֵר עַיִן הֲלֹא יַבִּיט׃
He that planted the ear, shall He not hear? He that formed the eye, shall He not see?

אַשְׁרֵי הַגֶּבֶר אֲשֶׁר־תְּיַסְּרֶנּוּ יָּהּ וּמִתּוֹרָתְךָ תְלַמְּדֶנּוּ׃
Happy is the man whom Thou instructest, O LORD, And teachest out of Thy law;

כִּי־עַד־צֶדֶק יָשׁוּב מִשְׁפָּט וְאַחֲרָיו כָּל־יִשְׁרֵי־לֵב׃
For right shall return unto justice, And all the upright in heart shall follow it.

מִי־יָקוּם לִי עִם־מְרֵעִים מִי־יִתְיַצֵּב לִי עִם־פֹּעֲלֵי אָוֶן׃
Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

94:17
לוּלֵי יְהוָה עֶזְרָתָה לִּי כִּמְעַט שָׁכְנָה דוּמָה נַפְשִׁי׃
Unless the LORD had been my help, My soul had soon dwelt in silence.

אִם־אָמַרְתִּי מָטָה רַגְלִי חַסְדְּךָ יְהוָה יִסְעָדֵנִי׃
If I say: 'My foot slippeth', Thy mercy, O LORD, holdeth me up.

בְּרֹב שַׂרְעַפַּי בְּקִרְבִּי תַּנְחוּמֶיךָ יְשַׁעַשְׁעוּ נַפְשִׁי׃
When my cares are many within me, Thy comforts delight my soul.

הַיְחָבְרְךָ כִּסֵּא הַוּוֹת יֹצֵר עָמָל עֲלֵי־חֹק׃
Shall the seat of wickedness have fellowship with Thee, Which frameth mischief by statute?
