⁸ Don’t hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us.
    Let your tender mercies speedily meet us,
    for we are in desperate need.
⁹ Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of your name.
    Deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your name’s sake.
¹⁰ Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”
    Let it be known among the nations, before our eyes,
    that vengeance for your servants’ blood is being poured out.
