Psalms 74:11-21

¹¹Why dost Thou turn back Thy hand, Even Thy right hand? From the midst of Thy bosom remove it.

¹²And God is my king of old, Working salvation in the midst of the earth.

¹³Thou hast broken by Thy strength a sea -monster, Thou hast shivered Heads of dragons by the waters,

¹⁴Thou hast broken the heads of leviathan, Thou makest him food, For the people of the dry places.

¹⁵Thou hast cleaved a fountain and a stream, Thou hast dried up perennial flowings.

¹⁶Thine is the day, also Thine is the night, Thou hast prepared a light giver — the sun.

¹⁷Thou hast set up all the borders of earth, Summer and winter Thou hast formed them.

¹⁸Remember this — an enemy reproached Jehovah, And a foolish people have despised Thy name.

¹⁹Give not up to a company, The soul of Thy turtle-dove, The company of Thy poor ones forget not for ever.

²⁰Look attentively to the covenant, For the dark places of earth, Have been full of habitations of violence.

²¹Let not the oppressed turn back ashamed, Let the poor and needy praise Thy name,
