Psalms 79:5-12

5How long, Lord? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy keep burning like fire?

6Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t acknowledge you, on the kingdoms that don’t call on your name,

7for they have devoured Jacob and devastated his homeland.

8Do not hold past iniquities against us; let your compassion come to us quickly, for we have become very weak.

9God of our salvation, help us, for the glory of your name. Rescue us and atone for our sins, for your name’s sake.

10Why should the nations ask, “Where is their God?” Before our eyes, let vengeance for the shed blood of your servants be known among the nations.

11Let the groans of the prisoners reach you; according to your great power, preserve those condemned to die.

12Pay back sevenfold to our neighbors the reproach they have hurled at you, Lord.
