Psalms 74:20 - Psalms 75:6
20 Have respect unto the covenant; for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.
21 Oh 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.
