Psalms 79:4-10

⁴We are become a taunt to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.

⁵How long, O LORD, wilt Thou be angry for ever? How long will Thy jealousy burn like fire?

⁶Pour out Thy wrath upon the nations that know Thee not, and upon the kingdoms that call not upon Thy name.

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

⁸Remember not against us the iniquities of our forefathers; let Thy compassions speedily come to meet us; for we are brought very low.

⁹Help us, O God of our salvation, for the sake of the glory of Thy name; and deliver us, and forgive our sins, for Thy name's sake.

¹⁰Wherefore should the nations say: 'Where is their God?' Let the avenging of Thy servants' blood that is shed be made known among the nations in our sight.
