10How long, O God! shall the adversary revile? Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
11Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? Take it from thy bosom, and destroy!
12Yet God was our king of old, Working salvation in the midst of the earth.
13Thou didst divide the sea by thy power; Thou didst crush the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters.
14Thou didst break in pieces the head of the crocodile; Thou gavest him for food to the inhabitants of the desert.
15Thou didst cleave forth the fountain and the stream; Thou didst dry up perennial rivers.
16Thine is the day, and thine the night; Thou didst prepare the light and the sun.
17Thou didst establish all the boundaries of the earth; Thou didst make summer and winter.
18O remember that the enemy hath reviled Jehovah; That an impious people hath blasphemed thy name!
19Give not up the life of thy turtle-dove to the wild beast; Forget not for ever thine afflicted people!
20Have regard to thy covenant! For all the dark places of the land are full of the abodes of cruelty.
21O let not the afflicted go away ashamed! Let the poor and needy praise thy name!
