Psalms 78:7-13

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.

¹⁰Lets haply they should say amongst the heathen, Where is their God? and let the avenging of your servant's blood that has been shed be known amongst the heathen before our eyes.

¹¹Let the groaning of the prisoners come in before you; according to the greatness of your arm preserve the sons of the slain ones.

¹²Repay to our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, with which they have reproached you, O Lord.

¹³For we are your people and the sheep of your pasture; we will give you thanks for ever; we will declare your praise throughout all generations.
