11. Why do you remain inactive?Intervene and destroy him!
12. But God has been my king from ancient times,performing acts of deliverance on the earth.
13. You destroyed the sea by your strength;you shattered the heads of the sea monster in the water.
14. You crushed the heads of Leviathan;you fed him to the people who live along the coast.
15. You broke open the spring and the stream;you dried up perpetually flowing rivers.
16. You established the cycle of day and night;you put the moon and sun in place.
17. You set up all the boundaries of the earth;you created the cycle of summer and winter.
18. Remember how the enemy hurls insults, O Lord,and how a foolish nation blasphemes your name!
19. Do not hand the life of your dove over to a wild animal!Do not continue to disregard the lives of your oppressed people!
