Psalms 79:3-12

³Their blood have they shed like water around Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them .

⁴We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to them that are around us.

⁵How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?

⁶Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.

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

⁸O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily succor us: for we are brought very low.

⁹Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake.

¹⁰Why should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by avenging the blood of thy servants which is shed.

¹¹Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die;

¹²And render to our neighbors seven-fold into their bosom their reproach, with which they have reproached thee, O LORD.
