Compare all

16 The day is Yours, the night also is ^aYours;
^bYou have prepared the light and the sun.

17 You have ^aset all the borders of the earth;
^bYou have made summer and winter.

18 Remember this, that the enemy has reproached, O Lord,
And that a foolish people has blasphemed Your name.

19 Oh, do not deliver the life of Your turtledove to the wild beast!
Do not forget the life of Your poor forever.

20 ^aHave respect to the covenant;
For the¹ dark places of the earth are full of the² haunts of cruelty.

21 Oh, do not let the oppressed return ashamed!
Let the poor and needy praise Your name.

22 Arise, O God, plead Your own cause;
Remember how the foolish man¹ reproaches You daily.

23 Do not forget the voice of Your enemies;
The tumult of those who rise up against You increases continually.
