Psalm 79:8-10

Modern English Version

⁸ Do not choose to remember our former iniquities;
    let Your tender mercies come swiftly to us,
    for we are brought very low.
⁹ Help us, O God of our salvation,
    for the glory of Your name;
deliver us, and purge away our sins,
    for Your name’s sake.
¹⁰ Why should the nations say,
    “Where is their God?”

May the avenging of the shed blood of Your servants
    be known among the nations before our eyes.
