Psalm 79:5–10

5 How long, Lord? Will you be angry forever?

Will your jealousy keep burning like fire?t

6 Pour out your wrath on the nations

that don’t acknowledge you,

on the kingdoms that don’t call on your name,u

7 for they have devoured Jacob

and devastated his homeland.v

8 Do not hold past iniquitiesA against us;

let your compassion come to us quickly,

for we have become very weak.w

9 God of our salvation, help us,x

for the glory of your name.

Rescue us and atone for our sins,

for your name’s sake.y

10 Why should the nations ask,

“Where is their God?”z

Before our eyes,

let vengeance for the shed blood of your servants

be known among the nations.aa
