Psalms 79:7-13

⁷For they ate Jacob; and made desolate his place.

⁸Have thou not mind on our eld or old wickednesses; thy mercies before take us soon, for we be made poor greatly.

⁹God, our health, help thou us, and, Lord, for the glory of thy name, deliver thou us; and be thou merciful to our sins, for thy name.

¹⁰Lest peradventure they say among heathen men, Where is the God of them? and be he known among nations before our eyes. The vengeance of the blood of thy servants, which is shed or poured out;

¹¹the wailing of fettered men enter into thy sight. After the greatness of thine arm; wield thou the sons of slain men.

¹²And yield thou to our neighbours sevenfold in the bosom of them; the shame of them, which they did shame-fully to thee, thou Lord.

¹³But we that be thy people, and the sheep of thy pasture; shall acknowledge to thee into the world. In generation and into generation, we shall tell thy praising.
