"For they have devoured Jacob, and destroyed his homeland."
— Psalms 79:7, World English 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 home.”
“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 a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and derision to those who are around us.
How long, Yahweh? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire?
Pour out your wrath on the nations that don't know you; on the kingdoms that don't call on your name;
For they have devoured Jacob, and destroyed his homeland.
Don't hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us. Let your tender mercies speedily meet us, for we are in desperate need.
Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of your name. Deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your name's sake.
Why 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.
