Psalms 79:6

Read in context

Psalms 79:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

4 We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to those around us.

5 How long, O LORD? Will You be angry forever? Will Your jealousy burn like fire?

6 Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge You, on the kingdoms that refuse to call on Your name,

7 for they have devoured Jacob and devastated his homeland.

8 Do not hold past sins against us; let Your compassion come quickly, for we are brought low.
