18 O Yahweh, remember this: the enemy taunts, and foolish people treat your name with contempt.
19 Do not give to beasts the life of your dove; do not ever forget the life of your afflicted ones.
20 Have regard for the covenant, because the dark places of the land are full of the haunts of violence.
21 Do not let the oppressed turn back humiliated; let the poor and needy praise your name.
22 Rise up, O God, plead your cause; remember the reproaching of you by the foolish all day long.
23 Do not forget the sound of your adversaries, the roar of those rising up against you ascending continually.
