Psalms 79:8-12
8
Do not hold against us the sins of the fathers;
may your mercy come quickly to meet us,
for we are in desperate need.
9
Help us, O God our Savior,
for the glory of your name;
deliver us and forgive our sins
for your name’s sake.
10
Why should the nations say,
“Where is their God?”
Before our eyes, make known among the nations
that you avenge the outpoured blood of your servants.
11
May the groans of the prisoners come before you;
by the strength of your arm
preserve those condemned to die.
12
Pay back into the laps of our neighbors seven times
the reproach they have hurled at you, O Lord.
