16 You created the day and the night;you set the sun and the moon in their places;
17 you set the limits of the earth;you made summer and winter.
18 But remember, O Lord, that your enemies laugh at you,that they are godless and despise you.
19 Don't abandon your helpless people to their cruel enemies;don't forget your persecuted people!
20 Remember the covenant you made with us.There is violence in every dark corner of the land.
21 Don't let the oppressed be put to shame;let those poor and needy people praise you.
22 Rouse yourself, God, and defend your cause!Remember that godless people laugh at you all day long.
