15
You broke open the fountain and the flood; You dried up mighty rivers.
16
The day is Yours, the night also is Yours; You have prepared the light and the sun.
17
You have set all the borders of the earth; You have made summer and winter.
18
Remember this, that the enemy has reproached, O Lord, And that a foolish people has blasphemed Your name.
19
Oh, do not deliver the life of Your turtledove to the wild beast! Do not forget the life of Your poor forever.
20
Have respect to the covenant; For the dark places of the earth are full of the haunts of cruelty.
21
Oh, do not let the oppressed return ashamed! Let the poor and needy praise Your name.
22
Arise, O God, plead Your own cause; Remember how the foolish man reproaches You daily.
23
Do not forget the voice of Your enemies; The tumult of those who rise up against You increases continually.
