Psalms 74:11-21 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

11. Why do you draw back your hand, even your right hand? Take it from your bosom; destroy them!

12. But God has been my king from long ago, working salvation in the midst of the earth.

13. You split open the sea by your strength; You broke the heads of the sea monsters in the waters.

14. You crushed the heads of Leviathan; you gave him as food to the desert dwelling creatures.

15. You split open spring and wadi. You dried up ever-flowing rivers.

16. Yours is the day, yours is the night also. You established light and the sun.

17. You defined all the boundaries of the earth; Summer and winter—you formed them.

18. O Yahweh, remember this: the enemy taunts, and foolish people treat your name with contempt.

19. Do not give to beasts the life of your dove; do not ever forget the life of your afflicted ones.

20. Have regard for the covenant, because the dark places of the land are full of the haunts of violence.

21. Do not let the oppressed turn back humiliated; let the poor and needy praise your name.
