English Standard Version
Psalm 74:13-23
English Standard Version
13 You (A)divided the sea by your might;
you (B)broke the heads of (C)the sea monsters[a] on the waters.
14 You crushed the heads of (D)Leviathan;
you gave him as food for the creatures of the wilderness.
15 You (E)split open springs and brooks;
you (F)dried up ever-flowing streams.
16 Yours is the day, yours also the night;
you have established (G)the heavenly lights and the sun.
17 You have (H)fixed all the boundaries of the earth;
you have made (I)summer and winter.
18 (J)Remember this, O Lord, how the enemy scoffs,
and (K)a foolish people reviles your name.
19 Do not deliver the soul of your (L)dove to the wild beasts;
(M)do not forget the life of your poor forever.
20 Have regard for (N)the covenant,
for (O)the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence.
21 Let not (P)the downtrodden (Q)turn back in shame;
let (R)the poor and needy praise your name.
22 Arise, O God, (S)defend your cause;
(T)remember how the foolish scoff at you all the day!
23 Do not forget the clamor of your foes,
(U)the uproar of those who rise against you, which goes up continually!

Psalm 74:13-23
King James Version
Psalm 74:13-23
King James Version
13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.
14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
15 Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers.
16 The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.
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.
