New King James Version

Psalms 79:7-13 New King James Version (NKJV)

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!

10. Why should the nations say,“Where is their God?”Let there be known among the nations in our sightThe avenging of 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 powerPreserve those who are appointed to die;

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

13. So we, Your people and sheep of Your pasture,Will give You thanks forever;We will show forth Your praise to all generations.
