Psalm 79:8-13
Christian Standard Bible
8 Do not hold past iniquities[a] against us;
let your compassion come to us quickly,
for we have become very weak.(A)
9 God of our salvation, help us,(B)
for the glory of your name.
Rescue us and atone for our sins,
for your name’s sake.(C)
10 Why should the nations ask,
“Where is their God?” (D)
Before our eyes,
let vengeance for the shed blood of your servants
be known among the nations.(E)
11 Let the groans of the prisoners reach you;
according to your great power,
preserve those condemned to die.(F)
12 Pay back sevenfold to our neighbors(G)
the reproach they have hurled at you, Lord.(H)
13 Then we, your people, the sheep of your pasture,(I)
will thank you forever;
we will declare your praise
to generation after generation.(J)
