(A)Do not remember against us (B)our former iniquities;[a]
    let your compassion come speedily to meet us,
    for we are (C)brought very low.
(D)Help us, O God of our salvation,
    for the glory of your name;
deliver us, and (E)atone for our sins,
    for your (F)name's sake!
10 (G)Why should the nations say,
    “Where is their God?”
Let (H)the avenging of the outpoured blood of your servants
    be known among the nations before our eyes!

11 Let (I)the groans of the prisoners come before you;
    according to your great power, preserve those (J)doomed to die!
12 Return (K)sevenfold into the (L)lap of our neighbors
    the (M)taunts with which they have taunted you, O Lord!
13 But we your people, the (N)sheep of your pasture,
    will (O)give thanks to you forever;
    from generation to generation we will recount your praise.
