10. O God, how long is the adversary to scoff and reproach? Is the enemy to blaspheme and revile Your name forever?
11. Why do You hold back Your hand, even Your right hand? Draw it out of Your bosom and consume them [make an end of them]!
12. Yet God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
13. You did divide the [Red] Sea by Your might; You broke the heads of the [Egyptian] dragons in the waters. [Exod. 14:21.]
14. You crushed the heads of Leviathan (Egypt); You did give him as food for the creatures inhabiting the wilderness.
15. You did cleave open [the rock bringing forth] fountains and streams; You dried up mighty, ever-flowing rivers (the Jordan). [Exod. 17:6; Num. 20:11; Josh. 3:13.]
16. The day is Yours, the night also is Yours; You have established the [starry] light and the sun.
17. You have fixed all the borders of the earth [the divisions of land and sea and of the nations]; You have made summer and winter. [Acts17:26.]
18. [Earnestly] remember how the enemy has scoffed, O Lord, and reproached You, and how a foolish and impious people has blasphemed Your name.
19. Oh, do not deliver the life of your turtledove to the wild beast (to the greedy multitude); forget not the life [of the multitude] of Your poor forever.
20. Have regard for the covenant [You made with Abraham], for the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence.
21. Oh, let not the downtrodden return in shame; let the oppressed and needy praise Your name.
22. Arise, O God, plead Your own cause; remember [earnestly] how the foolish and impious man scoffs and reproaches You day after day and all day long.
