17. You have set all the borders of the earth: you have made summer and winter.
18. Remember this, that the enemy has reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed your name.
19. O deliver not the soul of your turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of your poor forever.
20. Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.
21. O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise your name.
22. Arise, O God, plead your own cause: remember how the foolish man reproaches you daily.
23. Forget not the voice of your enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against you increases continually.
