Psalms 74:14-23 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

14. You crushed the heads of Leviathan;You fed him to the creatures of the desert.

15. You opened up springs and streams; You dried up ever-flowing rivers.

16. The day is Yours, also the night;You established the moon and the sun.

17. You set all the boundaries of the earth;You made summer and winter.

18. Remember this: the enemy has mocked Yahweh,and a foolish people has insulted Your name.

19. Do not give the life of Your dove to beasts; do not forget the lives of Your poor people forever.

20. Consider the covenant, for the dark places of the land are full of violence.

21. Do not let the oppressed turn away in shame;let the poor and needy praise Your name.

22. Rise up, God, defend Your cause! Remember the insultsthat fools bring against You all day long.

23. Do not forget the clamor of Your adversaries,the tumult of Your opponents that goes up constantly.
