Psalm 74:18-20

Remember how the enemy has mocked you, LORD, how foolish people have reviled your name. Do not hand over the life of your dove to wild beasts; do not forget the lives of your afflicted people forever. Have regard for our covenant, because haunts of violence fill the dark places of the land.

Remember how the enemy has mocked you, LORD, how foolish people have reviled your name 
Deuteronomy 32:6  Is this the way you repay the LORD, you foolish and unwise people? Is he not your Father, your Creator, who made and formed you?

Do not hand over the life of your dove to wild beasts 
Genesis 8:8  Then he sent out a dove to see if the water had receded from the surface of the ground.
Isaiah 59:11  We all growl like bears; we moan mournfully like doves. We look for justice, but find none; for deliverance, but it is far away.

do not forget the lives of your afflicted people forever 
Psalm 9:18  But God will never forget the needy; the hope of the afflicted will never perish.

Have regard for your covenant 
Genesis 6:18  "But I will establish my covenant with you (Noah), and you will enter the ark--you and your sons and your wife and your sons' wives with you."

because haunts of violence fill the dark places of the land 
Job 34:22  "There is no deep shadow, no utter darkness, where evildoers can hide."
