Psalms 79:5-12

5HowH4100 longH5704, O LORDH3068, wilt thou be angryH599 for everH5331? shall thy jealousyH7068 burnH1197 like fireH784?

6PourH8210 outH8210 thy wrathH2534 uponH5921 the heathen that knowH3045 thee notH3808, and uponH5921 the kingdomsH4467 that callH7121 notH3808 uponH5921 thy nameH8034.

7For they have devouredH398 JacobH3290, and laidH8074 wasteH8074 his habitation.

8RememberH2142 notH408 againstH3966 usH3588 the iniquitiesH5771 of our forefathersH7223: letH408 thy tender merciesH7356 speedily prevent usH3588: for weH3588 are broughtH1809 veryH3966 lowH1809.

9HelpH5826 usH5921, O GodH430 of our salvationH3468, for the gloryH3519 of thy nameH8034: and deliverH5337 usH5921, and purge awayH5337 our sinsH2403, for thy name’sH8034 sakeH4616.

10Wherefore should the heathen sayH559, WhereH346 is their GodH430? let the revenging of the bloodH1818 of thy servantsH5650 whichH1471 is shedH8210 be knownH3045 among the heathen in our sightH5869.

11LetH3498 the sighing of the prisonerH616 comeH935 beforeH6440 thee; according to the greatnessH1433 of thy powerH2220 preserveH3498 thou thoseH1121 that are appointed to deathH8546;

12And renderH7725 unto our neighbours sevenfoldH7659 intoH413 their bosomH2436 their reproachH2781, wherewith they have reproached thee, O LordH136.
