74:2 Remember your people 1 whom you acquired in ancient times,
whom you rescued 2 so they could be your very own nation, 3
as well as Mount Zion, where you dwell!
74:18 Remember how 4 the enemy hurls insults, O Lord, 5
and how a foolish nation blasphemes your name!
74:19 Do not hand the life of your dove 6 over to a wild animal!
Do not continue to disregard 7 the lives of your oppressed people!
74:20 Remember your covenant promises, 8
for the dark regions of the earth are full of places where violence rules. 9
