⁵ How long will you rage, Lord? Forever?
    How long will your anger burn like fire?
⁶ Pour out your wrath on the nations
        who don’t know you,
    on the kingdoms
        that haven’t called on your name.
⁷ They’ve devoured Jacob
    and demolished his pasture.
⁸ Don’t remember the iniquities of past generations;
    let your compassion hurry to meet us
    because we’ve been brought so low.
⁹ God of our salvation, help us
    for the glory of your name!
Deliver us and cover our sins
    for the sake of your name!
¹⁰ Why should the nations say,
    “Where’s their God now?”
Let vengeance for the spilled blood of your servants
    be known among the nations before our very eyes!
¹¹     Let the prisoners’ groaning reach you.
With your powerful arm
    spare those who are destined to die.
¹² Pay back our neighbors seven times over,
    right where it hurts,
    for the insults they used on you, Lord.
¹³ We are, after all, your people
    and the sheep of your very own pasture.
We will give you thanks forever;
    we will proclaim your praises
    from one generation to the next.
