Psalms 74:18-23

74:18 Remember how the enemy hurls insults, O Lord,

and how a foolish nation blasphemes your name!

74:19 Do not hand the life of your dove over to a wild animal!

Do not continue to disregard the lives of your oppressed people!

74:20 Remember your covenant promises,

for the dark regions of the earth are full of places where violence rules.

74:21 Do not let the afflicted be turned back in shame!

Let the oppressed and poor praise your name!

74:22 Rise up, O God! Defend your honor!

Remember how fools insult you all day long!

74:23 Do not disregard what your enemies say,

or the unceasing shouts of those who defy you.

2:1 Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the stomach of the fish 2:2 and said,

and he answered me;

from the belly of Sheol I cried out for help,

and you heard my prayer.

Jonah 2:7

2:7 When my life was ebbing away, I called out to the Lord,

and my prayer came to your holy temple.

Jeremiah 15:15

15:15 I said,

“Lord, you know how I suffer.

Take thought of me and care for me.

Pay back for me those who have been persecuting me.

Do not be so patient with them that you allow them to kill me.

Be mindful of how I have put up with their insults for your sake.
