Psalm 74:18–222 matched frames
Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.
- A 18 Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.
- B 19 O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever.
- B' 20-21 Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty. 21 O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name.
- A' 22 Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily. Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually.
