9. We do not see our signs;there is no longer any prophet,nor is there among us any who knows how long.
10. O God, how long will the adversary scorn?Will the enemy blaspheme Your name forever?
11. Why do You withdraw Your hand, Your right hand?Draw it out of Your bosom and destroy them!
12. For God is my King of old,working salvation in the midst of the earth.
13. You divided the sea by Your strength;You broke the heads of the dragons on the waters.
14. You crushed the heads of Leviathan in pieces,and gave him for food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
15. You split the fountain and the flood;You dried up ever-flowing rivers.
16. The day is Yours, the night also is Yours;You have prepared the light and the sun.
17. You have established all the borders of the earth;You have made summer and winter.
18. Remember this, that the enemy has scorned, O Lord,and that the foolish people have blasphemed Your name.
19. Do not give the life of Your turtledove to a wild animal;do not forget the life of Your poor forever.
20. Have regard for the covenant;for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of violence.
