Psalms 74:22
20 Consider Your covenant, for haunts of violence fill the dark places of the land.
21 Do not let the oppressed retreat in shame; may the poor and needy praise Your name.
Rise up, O God; defend Your cause! Remember how the fool mocks You all day long.
23 Do not disregard the clamor of Your adversaries, the uproar of Your enemies that ascends continually.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
