Psalm 79:8-10

Contemporary English Version

^8 (A) Don't make us pay for the sins
    of our ancestors.
Have pity and come quickly!
    We are completely helpless.
⁹ Our God, you keep us safe.
    Now help us! Rescue us.
Forgive our sins
    and bring honor to yourself.

¹⁰ Why should nations ask us,
    “Where is your God?”
Let us and the other nations
    see you take revenge
for your servants who died
    a violent death.
