15. You caused the springs and streams to gush forth,and you dried up rivers that never run dry.
16. Both day and night belong to you;you made the starlight and the sun.
17. You set the boundaries of the earth,and you made both summer and winter.
18. See how these enemies insult you, lord.A foolish nation has dishonored your name.
19. Don’t let these wild beasts destroy your turtledoves.Don’t forget your suffering people forever.
20. Remember your covenant promises,for the land is full of darkness and violence!
21. Don’t let the downtrodden be humiliated again.Instead, let the poor and needy praise your name.
22. Arise, O God, and defend your cause.Remember how these fools insult you all day long.
23. Don’t overlook what your enemies have saidor their growing uproar.
