New Testament

Psalm 79:6-12 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

6. Pour out your burning anger on the nations that don't pay any attention to you. Pour it out on the kingdoms that don't worship you.

7. They have swallowed up the people of Jacob. They have destroyed Israel's homeland.

8. Don't hold against us the sins of our people who lived before us. May you be quick to show us your tender love. We are in great need.

9. God our Savior, help us. Then glory will come to you. Be true to your name. Save us and forgive our sins.

10. Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?" Show the nations that you punish those who kill your people. We want to see it happen.

11. Listen to the groans of the prisoners. Use your powerful arm to save the lives of those who have been sentenced to death.

12. Lord, our neighbors have laughed at you. Pay them back seven times for what they have done.
