Psalm 74:18-23
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
18 Remember this, O Lord, how the enemy scoffs,
and an impious people reviles your name.(A)
19 Do not deliver the soul of your dove to the wild animals;
do not forget the life of your poor forever.(B)
20 Have regard for your[a] covenant,
for the dark places of the land are full of the haunts of violence.(C)
21 Do not let the downtrodden be put to shame;
let the poor and needy praise your name.(D)
22 Rise up, O God, plead your cause;
remember how the impious scoff at you all day long.(E)
23 Do not forget the clamor of your foes,
the uproar of your adversaries that goes up continually.(F)
