¹³ You divided the sea by your might;
   you broke the heads of the dragons in the waters.
¹⁴ You crushed the heads of Leviathan;
   you gave him as food^* for the creatures of the wilderness.
¹⁵ You cut openings for springs and torrents;
   you dried up ever-flowing streams.
¹⁶ Yours is the day, yours also the night;
   you established the luminaries^* and the sun.
¹⁷ You have fixed all the bounds of the earth;
   you made summer and winter.

¹⁸ Remember this, O Lord, how the enemy scoffs,
   and an impious people reviles your name.
¹⁹ Do not deliver the soul of your dove to the wild animals;
   do not forget the life of your poor for ever.

²⁰ Have regard for your^* covenant,
   for the dark places of the land are full of the haunts of violence.
²¹ Do not let the downtrodden be put to shame;
   let the poor and needy praise your name.
²² Rise up, O God, plead your cause;
   remember how the impious scoff at you all day long.
²³ Do not forget the clamour of your foes,
   the uproar of your adversaries that goes up continually.
