Psalms 79:5-13

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 savior, for the renown of your name: for your reputation deliver us and cover over our sins.

¹⁰Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” Let revenge for the outpoured blood of your servants be shown on the heathen before our eyes.

¹¹May the groans of the prisoner come before you; free the children of death by your mighty arm.

¹²Pay our neighbors back sevenfold for the scorn they have heaped upon you, O Lord.

¹³Then we, your people, the flock of your pasture, will give thanks to you for evermore, and tell your praise to all generations.
