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.
12 And render unto our neighbors sevenfold into their lapthe reproach that they have reproached You, O Lord.
13 But we are Your people, the sheep of Your pasture,and will give You thanks forever;we will declare Your praiseto all generations.
