Psalms 79:4-9
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 79
4We have become a disgrace before our neighbors, An object of derision and ridicule to those around us. 5How long, Lord? Will You be angry forever? Will Your jealousy burn like fire? 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.King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 79
4We have become an object of reproach to our neighbors, a source of mockery and ridicule to those around us. 5How long, Lord? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy keep burning like fire? 6Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t acknowledge you, on the kingdoms that don’t call on your name, 7for they have devoured Jacob and devastated his homeland.New Living Translation
5O Lord, how long will you be angry with us? Forever? How long will your jealousy burn like fire?
6Pour out your wrath on the nations that refuse to acknowledge you — on kingdoms that do not call upon your name.
7For they have devoured your people Israel, making the land a desolate wilderness.
8Do not hold us guilty for the sins of our ancestors! Let your compassion quickly meet our needs, for we are on the brink of despair.
English Standard Version

4We have become a taunt to our neighbors, mocked and derided by those around us. 5 How long, O Lord? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire? 6 Pour out your anger on the nations that do not know you, and on the kingdoms that do not call upon your name! 7For they have devoured Jacob and laid waste his habitation. 8 Do not remember against us our former iniquities; let your compassion come speedily to meet us, for we are brought very low. 9 Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of your name; deliver us, and atone for our sins, for your name 's sake!New International Version
