Psalm 79  Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁵ How long, Lord? Will you be angry for ever?
Will your jealousy keep burning like fire?^(F)
6 Pour out your wrath on the nations
that don’t acknowledge you,
on the kingdoms that don’t call on your name,^(G)
7 for they have devoured Jacob
and devastated his homeland.^(H)
8 Do not hold past iniquities^[a] against us;
let your compassion come to us quickly,
for we have become very weak.^(I)

⁹ God of our salvation, help us,^(J)
for the glory of your name.
Rescue us and atone for our sins,
for your name’s sake.^(K)
10 Why should the nations ask,
‘Where is their God? ’^(L)
Before our eyes,
let vengeance for the shed blood of your servants
be known among the nations.^(M)
11 Let the groans of the prisoners reach you;
according to your great power,
preserve those condemned to die.^(N)

¹² Pay back sevenfold to our neighbours^(O)
the reproach they have hurled at you, Lord.^(P)
13 Then we, your people, the sheep of your pasture,^(Q)
will thank you for ever;
we will declare your praise
to generation after generation.^(R)
