An Urgent Plea for God to Act

Psalms 74:18-23

Remember this, that the enemy has mocked you, LORD. Foolish people have blasphemed your name.

Don’t deliver the soul of your dove to wild beasts. Don’t forget the life of your poor forever.

Honor your covenant, for haunts of violence fill the dark places of the earth.

Don’t let the oppressed return ashamed. Let the poor and needy praise your name.

Arise, God! Plead your own cause. Remember how the foolish man mocks you all day.

Don’t forget the voice of your adversaries. The tumult of those who rise up against you ascends continually.
