17. You have established all the boundaries of the earth; You have made summer and winter.
18. Remember this, O Lord, that the enemy has reviled, And a foolish people has spurned Your name.
19. Do not deliver the soul of Your turtledove to the wild beast; Do not forget the life of Your afflicted forever.
20. Consider the covenant; For the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence.
21. Let not the oppressed return dishonored; Let the afflicted and needy praise Your name.
22. Arise, O God, and plead Your own cause; Remember how the foolish man reproaches You all day long.
23. Do not forget the voice of Your adversaries, The uproar of those who rise against You which ascends continually.
