18 Lord, think about your enemies.
    They are always laughing at you.
Foolish people are insulting your name.
19 We, your people, are like your own special dove.

There are dark places everywhere,
    where cruel people hide.

20 Have regard for your covenant,(D)
    because haunts of violence fill the dark places(E) of the land.
