18 Remember, then, the enemy blasphemes the Lord, and foolish men blaspheme your name.

19 Thou shalt not give up to the beasts the soul of thy turtledove; do not forget the assembly of Thy poor forever.

20 Look upon thy covenant; for all the dark places of the earth are filled with dwellings of violence.

21 Let not the oppressed return to shame; let the poor and the needy praise Thy name.

22 Arise, O God, defend thy cause, remember thy daily reproach from the fool;

23 Do not forget the cry of your enemies; the noise of those who rise up against Thee is constantly rising.

Psalm 74

1 To the head of the choir. Do not ruin. Psalm of Asaph. Canto.

2 We praise thee, O God, we praise thee, for thy name is near; declare Thy wonders.

3 "When I choose the time, I will execute judgment in righteousness.

4 The earth is shaken, and all that dwell in it: I will establish its pillars."

5 I say to the fools, 'Do not be foolish,' and to the wicked, 'Do not lift up your horns,

6 Do not lift up your horns high, you shall not speak [against God] with a stiff-necked voice,"

7 For the exaltation is not from the east, nor from the west, nor from the wilderness,

8 but God is the judge: he humbles the one, and exalts the other;

9 for the cup is in the hand of the Lord, the wine boils in it, full of confusion, and he pours out of it. Even its yeast will squeeze and drink all the wicked lands.

10 But I will proclaim for ever, I will sing praises to the God of Jacob,

11 I will break all the horns of the wicked, and the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.

Psalm 75

1 To the head of the choir. On string instruments. Psalm of Asaph. Canto.

2 God is known in Judea; His name is great with Israel.
