5. How long, Lord? Will you be angry forever?Will your jealous anger keep burning like fire?
6. Pour out your wrath on nations that do not recognize you,on kingdoms that do not call on your name,
7. For they have devoured Jacob,laid waste his dwelling place.
8. Do not remember against us the iniquities of our forefathers;let your compassion move quickly ahead of us,for we have been brought very low.
9. Help us, God our savior,on account of the glory of your name.Deliver us, pardon our sinsfor your name’s sake.
10. Why should the nations say,“Where is their God?”Before our eyes make known to the nationsthat you avenge the blood of your servants which has been poured out.
11. Let the groaning of the imprisoned come in before you;in accord with the greatness of your armpreserve those doomed to die.
12. Turn back sevenfold into the bosom of our neighborsthe insult with which they insulted you, Lord.
