Psalms 74:14-23

MSG

NIV

14 You lopped off the heads of Leviathan, then served them up in a stew for the animals.
14 It was you who crushed the heads of Leviathan and gave it as food to the creatures of the desert.
15 With your finger you opened up springs and creeks, and dried up the wild floodwaters.
15 It was you who opened up springs and streams; you dried up the ever-flowing rivers.
16 You own the day, you own the night; you put stars and sun in place.
16 The day is yours, and yours also the night; you established the sun and moon.
17 You laid out the four corners of earth, shaped the seasons of summer and winter.
17 It was you who set all the boundaries of the earth; you made both summer and winter.
18 Mark and remember, God, all the enemy taunts, each idiot desecration.
18 Remember how the enemy has mocked you, LORD, how foolish people have reviled your name.
19 Don't throw your lambs to the wolves; after all we've been through, don't forget us.
19 Do not hand over the life of your dove to wild beasts; do not forget the lives of your afflicted people forever.
20 Remember your promises; the city is in darkness, the countryside violent.
20 Have regard for your covenant, because haunts of violence fill the dark places of the land.
21 Don't leave the victims to rot in the street; make them a choir that sings your praises.
21 Do not let the oppressed retreat in disgrace; may the poor and needy praise your name.
22 On your feet, O God - stand up for yourself! Do you hear what they're saying about you, all the vile obscenities?
22 Rise up, O God, and defend your cause; remember how fools mock you all day long.
23 Don't tune out their malicious filth, the brawling invective that never lets up.
23 Do not ignore the clamor of your adversaries, the uproar of your enemies, which rises continually.
