10. How long, O God, will the adversary taunt? Will the enemy treat your name with contempt forever?
11. Why do you draw back your hand, even your right hand? Take it from your bosom; destroy them!
12. But God has been my king from long ago, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
13. You split open the sea by your strength; You broke the heads of the sea monsters in the waters.
14. You crushed the heads of Leviathan; you gave him as food to the desert dwelling creatures.
15. You split open spring and wadi. You dried up ever-flowing rivers.
16. Yours is the day, yours is the night also. You established light and the sun.
17. You defined all the boundaries of the earth; Summer and winter—you formed them.
18. O Yahweh, remember this: the enemy taunts, and foolish people treat your name with contempt.
19. Do not give to beasts the life of your dove; do not ever forget the life of your afflicted ones.
20. Have regard for the covenant, because the dark places of the land are full of the haunts of violence.
