Psalm 79:5-10
New King James Version
5 (A)How long, Lord?
Will You be angry forever?
Will Your (B)jealousy burn like fire?
6 (C)Pour out Your wrath on the [a]nations that (D)do not know You,
And on the kingdoms that (E)do not call on Your name.
7 For they have devoured Jacob,
And laid waste his dwelling place.
8 (F)Oh, do not remember [b]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,
(G)For Your name’s sake!
10 (H)Why should the [c]nations say,
“Where is their God?”
Let there be known among the nations in our sight
The avenging of the blood of Your servants which has been shed.
