Psalms 79:4-9

⁴On every side our neighbours revile us and mock us and jeer at us.

⁵How long will you be angry, O Lord? Will your jealousy burn like fire forever?

⁶Pour out your wrath on the nations that don't know you, on the kingdoms that do not call on your name.

⁷For Jacob they devoured, they have desolated his home.

⁸Do not remember against us our ancestors' sins; O meet us soon with your pity, for utterly weak are we.

⁹Help us, O God our saviour, for the renown of your name: for your reputation deliver us and cover over our sins.
