18 Remember how the enemy has mocked you, Lord,
    how foolish people(A) have reviled your name.
19 Do not hand over the life of your dove(B) to wild beasts;
    do not forget the lives of your afflicted(C) people forever.
20 Have regard for your covenant,(D)
    because haunts of violence fill the dark places(E) of the land.
21 Do not let the oppressed(F) retreat in disgrace;
    may the poor and needy(G) praise your name.
22 Rise up,(H) O God, and defend your cause;
    remember how fools(I) mock you all day long.
23 Do not ignore the clamor(J) of your adversaries,(K)
    the uproar(L) of your enemies,(M) which rises continually.

18 Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O Lord, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.

19 O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever.

20 Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.

21 O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name.

22 Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily.

23 Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually.
