5 How long, O Lord? Will You be angry forever?Will Your jealousy burn like fire?
6 Pour out Your wrathupon the nations who do not know You,and upon the kingdomswho have not called upon Your name.
7 For they have devoured Jacob,and laid waste his dwelling place.
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 servantsbe known among the nations before our eyes.
11 Let the groans of the prisoners come before You;according to the greatness of Your powerpreserve those who are appointed to die.
