    Hurry, show us your mercy!
    We need you so much!
Our God and Savior, help us!
    That will bring glory to your name.
Save us and forgive our sins
    for the good of your name.

    “Where is their God? Can’t he help them?”
Let us see you punish those people.
    Punish them for killing your servants.
