Psalms 74:12-22 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

12. God, you have been our King for a long time. You have saved us many times on this earth.

13. With your great power you split open the sea and broke the heads of the sea monster.

14. Yes, you smashed the heads of Leviathan and left his body for animals to eat.

15. You make the springs and rivers flow, and you make the rivers dry up.

16. You control the day and the night. You made the sun and the moon.

17. You set the limits for everything on earth. And you created summer and winter.

18. Lord, remember, the enemy insulted you! Those foolish people hate your name!

19. Don’t give us like a helpless dove to those wild animals. Never forget your poor, suffering people.

20. Remember the agreement you gave us, because violence fills every dark place in this land.

21. Your people were treated badly. Don’t let them be hurt anymore. Let your poor, helpless people praise you.

22. God, get up and defend yourself! Remember, those fools challenged you.
