Psalms 74:12-23

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

13You split the sea with Your power. You smashed the monsters’ heads in the waters.

14You crushed the heads of Leviathan, giving him as food to the desert dwellers.

15You opened up spring and brook. You dried up ever-flowing rivers.

16The day is Yours, the night also is Yours. You provided moon and sun.

17You set all the borders of earth. You made summer and winter.

18Remember how the enemy mocked, Adonai, and how foolish people despised Your Name.

19Do not deliver Your turtledove’s soul to the wild beast. Do not forget the life of Your afflicted ones forever.

20Look upon the covenant— for haunts of violence fill the dark places of earth.

21Do not let the oppressed turn back in shame. But let the poor and needy praise Your Name.

22Rise up O God, and defend Your cause. Remember how the fool mocks You all day.

23Do not forget the noise of Your foes, the uproar of those rising up against You, ascending continually.
