Psalms 79:6-13

Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

6Pour out Your wrath upon the nations which do not know You,

And upon the kingdoms which do not call upon Your name.

7For they have devoured Jacob

And laid waste his settlement.

8Do not hold us responsible for the guilty deeds of our forefathers;

Let Your compassion come quickly to meet us,

For we have become very low.

9Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of Your name;

And save us and forgive our sins for the sake of Your name.

10Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”

Let vengeance for the blood of Your servants which has been shed

Be known among the nations in our sight.

11Let the groaning of the prisoner come before You;

According to the greatness of Your power, let those who are doomed to die remain.

12And return to our neighbors seven times as much into their lap

Their taunts with which they have taunted You, Lord.

13So we Your people and the sheep of Your pasture

Will give thanks to You forever;

To all generations we will tell of Your praise.
