Psalm 74:18-23

Revised Standard Version

¹⁸ Remember this, O Lord, how the enemy scoffs,
    and an impious people reviles thy name.
¹⁹ Do not deliver the soul of thy dove to the wild beasts;
    do not forget the life of thy poor for ever.

²⁰ Have regard for thy^[a] covenant;
    for the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence.
²¹ Let not the downtrodden be put to shame;
    let the poor and needy praise thy name.

²² Arise, O God, plead thy cause;
    remember how the impious scoff at thee all the day!
²³ Do not forget the clamor of thy foes,
    the uproar of thy adversaries which goes up continually!
