Psalms 74:12-23

12Yet God my King is from of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.

13You divided the sea by your might; you broke the heads of the sea monsters on the waters.

14You crushed the heads of Leviathan; you gave him as food for the creatures of the wilderness.

15You split open springs and brooks; you dried up ever-flowing streams.

16Yours is the day, yours also the night; you have established the heavenly lights and the sun.

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

18Remember this, O Lord, how the enemy scoffs, and a foolish people reviles your name.

19Do not deliver the soul of your dove to the wild beasts; do not forget the life of your poor forever.

20Have regard for the covenant, for the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence.

21Let not the downtrodden turn back in shame; let the poor and needy praise your name.

22Arise, O God, defend your cause; remember how the foolish scoff at you all the day!

23Do not forget the clamor of your foes, the uproar of those who rise against you, which goes up continually!
