Psalms 74:12-23

Psalms 74:12-23 AMP

¶Yet God is my King of old, Working salvation in the midst of the earth. You divided the [Red] Sea by Your strength; You broke the heads of the sea monsters in the waters. [Ex 14:21] You crushed the heads of Leviathan (Egypt); You gave him as food for the creatures of the wilderness. [Job 41:1] You broke open fountains and streams; You dried up ever-flowing rivers. [Ex 17:6; Num 20:11; Josh 3:13] The day is Yours, the night also is Yours; You have established and prepared the [heavenly] light and the sun. You have defined and established all the borders of the earth [the divisions of land and sea and of the nations]; You have made summer and winter. [Acts 17:26] ¶Remember this, O LORD, the enemy has scoffed, And a foolish and impious people has spurned Your name. Oh, do not hand over the soul of your turtledove to the wild beast; Do not forget the life of Your afflicted forever. Consider the covenant [You made with Abraham], For the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence. Let not the oppressed return dishonored; Let the afflicted and needy praise Your name. ¶Arise, O God, plead Your own cause; Remember how the foolish man scoffs at You all day long. Do not forget the [clamoring] voices of Your adversaries, The uproar of those who rise against You, which ascends continually [to Your ears].
