Psalms 74:12-22

¹²Yet God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.

¹³Thou didst break the sea in pieces by Thy strength; Thou didst shatter the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters.

¹⁴Thou didst crush the heads of leviathan, Thou gavest him to be food to the folk inhabiting the wilderness.

¹⁵Thou didst cleave fountain and brook; Thou driedst up ever-flowing rivers.

¹⁶Thine is the day, Thine also the night; Thou hast established luminary and sun.

¹⁷Thou hast set all the borders of the earth; Thou hast made summer and winter.

¹⁸Remember this, how the enemy hath reproached the LORD, and how a base people have blasphemed Thy name.

¹⁹O deliver not the soul of Thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast; forget not the life of Thy poor for ever.

²⁰Look upon the covenant; for the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence.

²¹O let not the oppressed turn back in confusion; let the poor and needy praise Thy name.

²²Arise, O God, plead Thine own cause; remember Thy reproach all the day at the hand of the base man.
