4. We have become a reproach to our neighbors,A scorn and derision to those who are around us.
5. How long, Lord?Will You be angry forever?Will Your jealousy burn like fire?
6. Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not know You,And on the kingdoms that do not call on Your name.
7. For they have devoured Jacob,And laid waste his dwelling place.
8. Oh, do not remember former iniquities against us!Let Your tender mercies come speedily to meet us,For we have been brought very low.
9. Help us, O God of our salvation,For the glory of Your name;And deliver us, and provide atonement for our sins,For Your name’s sake!
