74:18 Remember how 1 the enemy hurls insults, O Lord, 2
and how a foolish nation blasphemes your name!
74:19 Do not hand the life of your dove 3 over to a wild animal!
Do not continue to disregard 4 the lives of your oppressed people!
74:20 Remember your covenant promises, 5
for the dark regions of the earth are full of places where violence rules. 6
74:21 Do not let the afflicted be turned back in shame!
Let the oppressed and poor praise your name! 7
74:22 Rise up, O God! Defend your honor! 8
Remember how fools insult you all day long! 9
74:23 Do not disregard 10 what your enemies say, 11
or the unceasing shouts of those who defy you. 12
