Psalms, Psalm 74, verses 21-23

¹⁸ Of his reproachful enemies, of his children, and of his covenant

²¹O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name.

²²Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily.

²³Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually.

Encourages himself by recollecting the mighty works of God, Psa 74:12-17.
Prays for deliverance, Psa 74:18-23.
