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.
23 Don't forget the angry shouts of your enemies,the continuous noise made by your foes.
