Psalms 73:13-23

¹³You did establish the sea, in your might, you did break to pieces the heads of the dragons in the water.

¹⁴You did break to pieces the heads of the dragon; you did give him for meat to the Ethiopian nations.

¹⁵You did cleave fountains and torrents; you dried up mighty rivers.

¹⁶The day is your, and the night is your; you have prepared the sun and the moon.

¹⁷You have made all the borders of the earth; you have made summer and spring.

¹⁸Remember this your creation: an enemy has reproached the Lord, and a foolish people has provoked your name.

¹⁹Deliver not to the wild beasts a soul that gives praise to you: forget not for ever the souls of your poor.

²⁰Look upon your covenant: for the dark places of the earth are filled with the habitations of iniquity.

²¹let not the afflicted and shamed one be rejected: the poor and needy shall praise your name.

²²Arise, O God, plead your cause: remember your reproaches that come from the foolish one all the day.

²³Forget not the voice of your suppliants: let the pride of them that hate you continually ascend before you.
