12 But God is my
King from long ago;
he brings salvation on the
earth.
13 It was you who
split open the sea by your power;
you broke the heads of the monster in the
waters.
14 It was you who crushed the heads of
Leviathan
and gave it as food to the creatures of the
desert.
15 It was you who opened up springs and
streams;
you dried up the ever-flowing
rivers.
16 The day is yours, and yours also the
night;
you established the sun and moon.
17 It was you who set all the
boundaries of the earth;
you made both summer and winter.
18 Remember how
the enemy has mocked you, Lord,
how foolish people have reviled your
name.
19 Do not hand over the life of your
dove to wild beasts;
do not forget the lives of your
afflicted people forever.
20 Have regard for your covenant,
because haunts of violence fill the dark
places of the land.
21 Do not let the oppressed retreat in
disgrace;
may the poor and needy praise your
name.
22 Rise up, O God, and defend your
cause;
remember how fools mock you all day
long.
23 Do not ignore the clamor of your
adversaries,
the uproar of your enemies, which rises
continually.
