Psalm 74:12–23

12 But God is my Kingq from long ago;

he brings salvationr on the earth.

13 It was you who split open the seas by your power;

you broke the heads of the monstert in the waters.

14 It was you who crushed the heads of Leviathanu

and gave it as food to the creatures of the desert.v

15 It was you who opened up springsw and streams;

you dried upx the ever-flowing rivers.

16 The day is yours, and yours also the night;

you established the sun and moon.y

17 It was you who set all the boundariesz of the earth;

you made both summer and winter.a

18 Remember how the enemy has mocked you, Lord,

how foolish peopleb have reviled your name.

19 Do not hand over the life of your dovec to wild beasts;

do not forget the lives of your afflictedd people forever.

20 Have regard for your covenant,e

because haunts of violence fill the dark placesf of the land.

21 Do not let the oppressedg retreat in disgrace;

may the poor and needyh praise your name.

22 Rise up,i O God, and defend your cause;

remember how foolsj mock you all day long.

23 Do not ignore the clamork of your adversaries,l

the uproarm of your enemies,n which rises continually.
