The psalm continues in verses 3b to 11 by describing the destruction of the Temple by "the enemies of God". [5] Verses 12–17 recall and praise the might of God, and the psalm ends (verses 18–23) by imploring the Lord (verse 18) to remember Israel and come to her aid. The enemy is not named, but may refer to King Nebuchadnezzar.
