Bible in Basic English
"O give not the soul of your dove to the hawk; let not the life of the poor go out of your memory for ever."
— Psalms 74:19, Bible in Basic English
“Oh deliver not the soul of thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast: Forget not the life of thy poor for ever. ”
“Don't deliver the soul of your dove to wild beasts. Don't forget the life of your poor forever.”
“Do not hand the life of your dove over to a wild animal! Do not continue to disregard the lives of your oppressed people!”
The day is yours and the night is yours: you made the light and the sun.
By you all the limits of the earth were fixed; you have made summer and winter.
Keep this in mind, O Lord, that your haters have said cruel things, and that your name has been looked down on by a people of evil behaviour.
O give not the soul of your dove to the hawk; let not the life of the poor go out of your memory for ever.
Keep in mind your undertaking; for the dark places of the earth are full of pride and cruel acts.
O let not the crushed be turned back in shame; let the low man and the poor give praise to your name.
Up! O God, be the judge of your cause; keep in mind the bitter things which the man of evil behaviour says against you every day.
