Psalm 79

<< Psalm 79 >>
New International Version 1984
 

9Help us, O God our Savior,

for the glory of your name;

deliver us and forgive our sins

for your name’s sake.

10Why should the nations say,

“Where is their God?”

Before our eyes, make known among the nations

that you avenge the outpoured blood of your servants.

11May the groans of the prisoners come before you;

by the strength of your arm

preserve those condemned to die.

12Pay back into the laps of our neighbors seven times

the reproach they have hurled at you, O Lord.

13Then we your people, the sheep of your pasture,

will praise you forever;

from generation to generation

we will recount your praise.
