18Remember how the enemy has mocked You, O LORD,
how a foolish people has spurned Your name.
19Do not deliver the soul of Your dove to beasts;
do not forget the lives of Your afflicted forever.
20Consider Your covenant,
for haunts of violence fill the dark places of the land.
21Do not let the oppressed retreat in shame;
may the poor and needy praise Your name.
22Rise up, O God; defend Your cause!
Remember how the fool mocks You all day long.
— Psalm 74:18-22
