Context of Psalms 79:6
4We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a mockery and a derision to them that are round about us. 5How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou be angry for ever? Shall thy jealousy burn like fire? Pour 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. 8Remember not against us the iniquities of [our] forefathers; let thy tender mercies speedily come to meet us: for we are brought very low.
