16. The day is Yours, the night also is Yours; You have established the [starry] light and the sun.
17. You have fixed all the borders of the earth [the divisions of land and sea and of the nations]; You have made summer and winter. [Acts17:26.]
18. [Earnestly] remember how the enemy has scoffed, O Lord, and reproached You, and how a foolish and impious people has blasphemed Your name.
19. Oh, do not deliver the life of your turtledove to the wild beast (to the greedy multitude); forget not the life [of the multitude] of Your poor forever.
20. Have regard for the covenant [You made with Abraham], for the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence.
