- But you, O God, are my king from of old; you bring salvation upon the earth.
- It was you who split open the sea by your power; you broke the heads of the monster in the waters.
- It was you who crushed the heads of Leviathan and gave him as food to the creatures of the desert.
- It was you who opened up springs and streams; you dried up the ever flowing rivers.
- The day is yours, and yours also the night; you established the sun and moon.
|
- It was you who set all the boundaries of the earth; you made both summer and winter.
- Remember how the enemy has mocked you, O LORD, how foolish people have reviled your name.
- Do not hand over the life of your dove to wild beasts; do not forget the lives of your afflicted people forever.
- Have regard for your covenant, because haunts of violence fill the dark places of the land.
- Do not let the oppressed retreat in disgrace; may the poor and needy praise your name.
|
- Rise up, O God, and defend your cause; remember how fools mock you all day long.
- Do not ignore the clamor of your adversaries, the uproar of your enemies, which rises continually.
