Psalm 79:8-13

New International Version

⁸ Do not hold against us the sins of past generations;^(A)
    may your mercy come quickly to meet us,
    for we are in desperate need.^(B)
9 Help us,^(C) God our Savior,
    for the glory of your name;
deliver us and forgive our sins
    for your name’s sake.^(D)
10 Why should the nations say,
    “Where is their God?”^(E)

Before our eyes, make known among the nations
    that you avenge^(F) the outpoured blood^(G) of your servants.
¹¹ May the groans of the prisoners come before you;
    with your strong arm preserve those condemned to die.
¹² Pay back into the laps^(H) of our neighbors seven times^(I)
    the contempt they have hurled at you, Lord.
¹³ Then we your people, the sheep of your pasture,^(J)
    will praise you forever;^(K)
from generation to generation
    we will proclaim your praise.
