An Urgent Plea for God to Act

Psalms 74:18-23

Remember this--an enemy reproached Jehovah, And a foolish people have despised Thy name.

Give not up to a company, The soul of Thy turtle-dove, The company of Thy poor ones forget not for ever.

Look attentively to the covenant, For the dark places of earth, Have been full of habitations of violence.

Let not the oppressed turn back ashamed, Let the poor and needy praise Thy name,

Arise, O God, plead Thy plea, Remember Thy reproach from a fool all the day.

Forget not the voice of Thine adversaries, The noise of Thy withstanders is going up continually!
