18 Remember this, [a]Lord, that the enemy has (A)taunted You,
And a (B)foolish people has treated Your name disrespectfully.
19 Do not give the soul of Your (C)turtledove to the wild animal;
(D)Do not forget the life of Your afflicted forever.
20 Consider the (E)covenant;
For the (F)dark places of the land are full of the places of violence.
21 May the (G)oppressed person not return dishonored;
May the (H)afflicted and the needy praise Your name.

22 Arise, God, and (I)plead Your own cause;
Remember [b]how the (J)foolish person taunts You all day long.
23 Do not forget the voice of Your (K)adversaries,
The (L)uproar of those who rise against You, which ascends continually.
