Psalms 79:5-12

5How long, O Lord? Will You be angry forever? Will Your jealousy [which cannot endure a divided allegiance] burn like fire?

6Pour out Your wrath on the [Gentile] nations that do not know You, And on the kingdoms that do not call on Your name.

7For they have devoured Jacob And made his pasture desolate.

8O do not remember against us the sins and guilt of our forefathers. Let Your compassion and mercy come quickly to meet us, For we have been brought very low.

9Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of Your name; Rescue us, forgive us our sins for Your name’s sake.

10Why should the [Gentile] nations say, “Where is their God?” Let there be known [without delay] among the nations in our sight [and to this generation], Your vengeance for the blood of Your servants which has been poured out.

11Let the groaning and sighing of the prisoner come before You; According to the greatness of Your power keep safe those who are doomed to die.

12And return into the lap of our neighbors sevenfold The taunts with which they have taunted You, O Lord.
