17. You decided where the borders of the earth would be. You made both summer and winter.
18. Lord, remember how your enemies have made fun of you. Remember how foolish people have attacked you with their words.
19. Don't hand Israel, your dove, over to those wild animals. Don't forget your suffering people forever.
20. Honor the covenant you made with us. Horrible things are happening in every dark corner of the land.
21. Don't let your suffering people be put to shame. May those who are poor and needy praise you.
22. God, rise up. Stand up for your cause. Remember how foolish people make fun of you all day long.
