English Standard Version
Psalms 79:5-12
5How long, O Lord? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire?
6Pour out your anger on the nations that do not know you, and on the kingdoms that do not call upon your name!
7For they have devoured Jacob and laid waste his habitation.
8Do not remember against us our former iniquities; let your compassion come speedily to meet us, for we are brought very low.
9Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of your name; deliver us, and atone for our sins, for your name's sake!
10Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?" Let the avenging of the outpoured blood of your servants be known among the nations before our eyes!
11Let the groans of the prisoners come before you; according to your great power, preserve those doomed to die!
12Return sevenfold into the lap of our neighbors the taunts with which they have taunted you, O Lord!
