Psalms 79:5-12

⁵How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou be angry for ever? Shall thy jealousy burn like fire?

⁶Pour out thy fury upon the nations that have not known thee, 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 tender mercies speedily come to meet us: for we are brought very low.

⁹Help us, O God of our salvation, because 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 the blood of thy servants that is shed be known among the nations in our sight.

¹¹Let the groaning of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thine arm, preserve those that are appointed to die;

¹²And render unto our neighbours, sevenfold into their bosom, their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.
