Psalms 74:12-23

12God my King is from ancient times, performing saving acts on the earth.

13You divided the sea with your strength; you smashed the heads of the sea monsters in the water;

14you crushed the heads of Leviathan; you fed him to the creatures of the desert.

15You opened up springs and streams; you dried up ever-flowing rivers.

16The day is yours, also the night; you established the moon and the sun.

17You set all the boundaries of the earth; you made summer and winter.

18Remember this: the enemy has mocked the Lord, and a foolish people has insulted your name.

19Do not give to beasts the life of your dove; do not forget the lives of your poor people forever.

20Consider the covenant, for the dark places of the land are full of violence.

21Do not let the oppressed turn away in shame; let the poor and needy praise your name.

22Rise up, God, champion your cause! Remember the insults that fools bring against you all day long.

23Do not forget the clamor of your adversaries, the tumult of your opponents that goes up constantly.
