Context of Psalms 79:5
3Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem, and there was none to bury [them]. 4We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a mockery and a derision to them that are round about us. How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou be angry for ever? Shall thy jealousy burn like fire? 6Pour out thy fury upon the nations that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that call not upon thy name: 7For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his habitation.
