Psalms 78:5-9

⁵How long, O Lord? will you be angry for ever? shall your jealousy burn like fire?

⁶Pour out your wrath upon the heathen that have not known you, and upon the kingdoms which have not called upon your name.

⁷For they have devoured Jacob, and laid his place waste.

⁸Remember not our old transgressions; let your tender mercies speedily prevent us; for we are greatly impoverished.

⁹Help us, O God our Saviour; for the glory of your name, O Lord, deliver us; and be merciful to our sins, for your name's sake.
