Psalm 74:18-23

Good News Translation

¹⁸ But remember, O Lord, that your enemies laugh at you,
    that they are godless and despise you.
¹⁹ Don't abandon your helpless people to their cruel enemies;
    don't forget your persecuted people!

²⁰ Remember the covenant you made with us.
    There is violence in every dark corner of the land.
²¹ Don't let the oppressed be put to shame;
    let those poor and needy people praise you.

²² Rouse yourself, God, and defend your cause!
    Remember that godless people laugh at you all day long.
²³ Don't forget the angry shouts of your enemies,
    the continuous noise made by your foes.
