Shall thy jealousy burn like fire? 6Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that know thee not, And upon the kingdoms that call not upon thy name. 7For they have devoured Jacob, And laid waste his habitation. 8Remember not against us the iniquities of our forefathers: Let thy tender mercies speedily meet us; For we are brought very low. 9Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name; And deliver us, and forgive our sins, for thy name’s sake. 10Wherefore should the nations say, Where is their God? Let the avenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed Be known among the nations in our sight. 11Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee: According to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to death; 12And render unto our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom Their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord. 13So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture Will give thee thanks for ever: We will show forth thy praise to all generations. ‹Previous chapterPsalms 78Next chapterPsalms 80›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.VersionsPsalms 79 across 9 versionsShow all 9WEB - World English BibleKJV - King James VersionASV - American Standard VersionDarby - Darby BibleYLT - Young's Literal TranslationWebster - Webster BibleGeneva - Geneva BibleDouay - Douay-Rheims ChallonerRV1909 - Reina-Valera 1909Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
