10How long, O God, is the foe to insult? Shall the enemy spurn your name forever?
11Why, O Lord, do you hold back your hand, why keep your right hand in the folds of your robe?
12Yet God is our king from the ancient days, in the midst of the earth working deeds of salvation.
13It was you who did cleave the sea by your might, and shatter the heads of the ocean monsters.
14It was you who did crush many-headed Leviathan, and give him as food to the beasts of the wilderness.
15It was you who did cleave the fountains and torrents; it was you who did dry the perennial streams.
16Yours is the day; yours, too, is the night, it was you who did establish the sun and the star.
17It was you who did fix all the borders of earth: summer and winter it's you who have made them.
18Yet, for all this, the foe has insulted you, Lord, and a nation of fools has reviled your name.
19Do not give your dove to the beasts, do not forget your afflicted forever.
