An Urgent Plea for God to Act

Psalms 74:18-23

Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O Jehovah, And that a foolish people hath blasphemed thy name.

Oh deliver not the soul of thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast: Forget not the life of thy poor for ever.

Have respect unto the covenant; For the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of violence.

Oh let not the oppressed return ashamed: Let the poor and needy praise thy name.

Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: Remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee all the day.

Forget not the voice of thine adversaries: The tumult of those that rise up against thee ascendeth continually.
