Psalms 74:14-23

Psalms 74:14-23

[14] Thou brakest  the heads  of leviathan  in pieces, and gavest  him to be meat  to the people  inhabiting the wilderness.  [15] Thou didst cleave  the fountain  and the flood:  thou driedst up  mighty  rivers.  [16] The day  is thine, the night  also is thine: thou hast prepared  the light  and the sun.  [17] Thou hast set  all the borders  of the earth:  thou hast made  summer  and winter.  [18] Remember  this, that the enemy  hath reproached,  O LORD,  and that the foolish  people  have blasphemed  thy name.  [19] O deliver  not the soul  of thy turtledove  unto the multitude  of the wicked: forget  not the congregation  of thy poor  for ever.  [20] Have respect  unto the covenant:  for the dark  places of the earth  are full  of the habitations  of cruelty.  [21] O let not the oppressed  return  ashamed:  let the poor  and needy  praise  thy name.  [22] Arise,  O God,  plead  thine own cause:  remember  how the foolish man  reproacheth  thee daily.  [23] Forget  not the voice  of thine enemies:  the tumult  of those that rise up  against thee increaseth  continually.
