Psalms 74:15-21
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 74
15 You broke open springs and torrents; You dried up ever-flowing streams. 16Yours is the day, Yours also is the night; You have prepared the light and the sun. 17 You have established all the boundaries of the earth; You have created summer and winter. 18Remember this, Lord, that the enemy has taunted You, And a foolish people has treated Your name disrespectfully. 19Do not give the soul of Your turtledove to the wild animal; Do not forget the life of Your afflicted forever. 20Consider the covenant; For the dark places of the land are full of the places of violence. 21May the oppressed person not return dishonored; May the afflicted and the needy praise Your name.King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 74
15You opened up springs and streams; you dried up ever-flowing rivers. 16The day is yours, also the night; you established the moon and the sun.
17You set all the boundaries of the earth; you made summer and winter.
18Remember this: the enemy has mocked the Lord, and a foolish people has insulted your name.
19Do not give to beasts the life of your dove; do not forget the lives of your poor people forever.
20Consider the covenant, for the dark places of the land are full of violence.
21Do not let the oppressed turn away in shame; let the poor and needy praise your name.
New Living Translation
Chapter 74
15You caused the springs and streams to gush forth, and you dried up rivers that never run dry. 16Both day and night belong to you; you made the starlight and the sun. 17You set the boundaries of the earth, and you made both summer and winter.English Standard Version
Chapter 74
15You split open springs and brooks; you dried up ever-flowing streams. 16Yours is the day, yours also the night; you have established the heavenly lights and the sun. 17You have fixed all the boundaries of the earth; you have made summer and winter. 18 Remember this, O Lord, how the enemy scoffs, and a foolish people reviles your name. 19Do not deliver the soul of your dove to the wild beasts; do not forget the life of your poor forever. 20Have regard for the covenant, for the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence. 21Let not the downtrodden turn back in shame; let the poor and needy praise your name.New International Version
Chapter 74
15It was you who opened up springs and streams; you dried up the ever-flowing rivers. 16The day is yours, and yours also the night; you established the sun and moon.
17It was you who set all the boundaries of the earth; you made both summer and winter.
18Remember how the enemy has mocked you, Lord, how foolish people have reviled your name.
19Do not hand over the life of your dove to wild beasts; do not forget the lives of your afflicted people forever.
20Have regard for your covenant, because haunts of violence fill the dark places of the land.
21Do not let the oppressed retreat in disgrace; may the poor and needy praise your name.
