²² Arise, O God, plead Thy plea, Remember Thy reproach from a fool all the day.

¹⁸ Remember this -- an enemy reproached Jehovah, And a foolish people have despised Thy name.

¹⁹ Rise, O Jehovah, let not man be strong, Let nations be judged before Thy face.

²⁰ Appoint, O Jehovah, a director to them, Let nations know they `are' men! Selah.

⁴ I have said to the boastful, `Be not boastful,' And to the wicked, `Raise not up a horn.'

⁵ Raise not up on high your horn, (Ye speak with a stiff neck.)

¹⁰ Why do the nations say, `Where `is' their God?' Let be known among the nations before our eyes, The vengeance of the blood of Thy servants that is shed.

⁵⁰ Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Thy servants, I have borne in my bosom all the strivings of the peoples,

⁵¹ Wherewith Thine enemies reproached, O Jehovah, Wherewith they have reproached The steps of Thine anointed.
