Psalm 79:5-9 - Heartlight

⁵How long, O LORD?

Will You be angry forever?

Will Your jealousy burn like fire?

⁶Pour out Your wrath on the nations

that do not acknowledge You,

on the kingdoms

that refuse to call on Your name,

⁷for they have devoured Jacob

and devastated his homeland.

⁸Do not hold past sins against us;

let Your compassion come quickly,

for we are brought low.

⁹Help us, O God of our salvation,

for the glory of Your name;

deliver us and atone for our sins,

for the sake of Your name.

— Psalm 79:5-9
