American Standard Version
Psalms 79:5-12
5How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou be angry for ever?Shall thy jealousy burn like fire?6Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that know thee not,And upon the kingdoms that call not upon thy name.7For they have devoured Jacob,And laid waste his habitation.8Remember not against us the iniquities of our forefathers:Let thy tender mercies speedily meet us;For we are brought very low.9Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name;And deliver us, and forgive our sins, for thy name’s sake.10Wherefore should the nations say, Where is their God?Let the avenging of the blood of thy servants which is shedBe known among the nations in our sight.11Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee:According to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to death;12And render unto our neighbors sevenfold into their bosomTheir reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.
