Psalms 79:4-12 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

4. We have become a reproach to our neighbors, A scoffing and derision to those around us.

5. How long, O Lord? Will You be angry forever? Will Your jealousy burn like fire?

6. Pour out Your wrath upon the nations which do not know You, And upon the kingdoms which do not call upon Your name.

7. For they have devoured Jacob And laid waste his habitation.

8. Do not remember the iniquities of our forefathers against us; Let Your compassion come quickly to meet us, For we are brought very low.

9. Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of Your name; And deliver us and forgive our sins for Your name's sake.

10. Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?" Let there be known among the nations in our sight, Vengeance for the blood of Your servants which has been shed.

11. Let the groaning of the prisoner come before You; According to the greatness of Your power preserve those who are doomed to die.

12. And return to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom The reproach with which they have reproached You, O Lord.
