⁴ We have become a disgrace to our neighbors,
    an object of ridicule and contempt to those around us.
⁵ How long, O Yahweh?
    Will you remain angry forever?
    Will your fury continue to burn like fire?
⁶ Pour your fury on the nations that do not know you,
    on the kingdoms that have not called you.
⁷         They have devoured Jacob.
        They have destroyed his home.
⁸ Do not hold the crimes of our ancestors against us.
    Reach out to us soon with your compassion,
    because we are helpless.
⁹ Help us, O Elohim, our savior, for the glory of your name.
    Rescue us, and forgive our sins for the honor of your name.

¹⁰ Why should the nations be allowed to say,
    “Where is their Elohim?”
    Let us watch as the nations learn
    that there is punishment for shedding the blood of your servants.
¹¹ Let the groans of prisoners come into your presence.
    With your powerful arm rescue those who are condemned to death.
¹² Pay each one of our neighbors back
    with seven times the number of insults they used to insult you, O Adonay.
¹³ Then we, your people, the flock in your pasture,
    will give thanks to you forever.
        We will praise you throughout every generation.
