"For they have devoured Jacob and destroyed his home."
— Psalms 79:7, NET Bible
“For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.”
“For they have devoured Jacob, And laid waste his habitation. ”
“For they have devoured Jacob, and destroyed his homeland.”
“Thou hast made us to be a contradiction to our neighbours: and our enemies have scoffed at us.”
“For they have taken Jacob for their meat, and made waste his house.”
“For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.”
We have become an object of disdain to our neighbors; those who live on our borders taunt and insult us.
How long will this go on, O LORD? Will you stay angry forever? How long will your rage burn like fire?
Pour out your anger on the nations that do not acknowledge you, on the kingdoms that do not pray to you!
For they have devoured Jacob and destroyed his home.
Do not hold us accountable for the sins of earlier generations! Quickly send your compassion our way, for we are in serious trouble!
Help us, O God, our deliverer! For the sake of your glorious reputation, rescue us! Forgive our sins for the sake of your reputation!
Why should the nations say,“Where is their God?” Before our very eyes may the shed blood of your servants be avenged among the nations!
