New Testament

Psalms 74:11-23 New Century Version (NCV)

11. Why do you hold back your power?Bring your power out in the open and destroy them!

12. God, you have been our king for a long time.You bring salvation to the earth.

13. You split open the sea by your powerand broke the heads of the sea monster.

14. You smashed the heads of the monster Leviathanand gave it to the desert creatures as food.

15. You opened up the springs and streamsand made the flowing rivers run dry.

16. Both the day and the night are yours;you made the sun and the moon.

17. You set all the limits on the earth;you created summer and winter.

18. Lord, remember how the enemy insulted you.Remember how those foolish people made fun of you.

19. Do not give us, your doves, to those wild animals.Never forget your poor people.

20. Remember the agreement you made with us,because violence fills every dark corner of this land.

21. Do not let your suffering people be disgraced.Let the poor and helpless praise you.

22. God, arise and defend yourself.Remember the insults that come from those foolish people all day long.

23. Don’t forget what your enemies said;don’t forget their roar as they rise against you always.
