7For they have devoured Jacob, And destroyed his homeland.
8Don`t hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us. Let your tender mercies speedily meet us, For we are in desperate need.
9Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of your name. Deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your name`s sake.
10Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?" Let it be known among the nations, before our eyes, That vengeance for your servants` blood is being poured out.
11Let the sighing of the prisoner come before you. According to the greatness of your power, preserve those who are sentenced to death;
12Pay back to our neighbors seven times into their bosom Their reproach with which they have reproached you, Lord.
13So we, your people and sheep of your pasture, Will give you thanks forever. We will praise you forever, to all generations. Psalm 80 For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "The Lilies of the Covenant." A Psalm by Asaph.
