"Do not hold us accountable for the sins of earlier generations! Quickly send your compassion our way, for we are in serious trouble!"
— Psalms 79:8, NET Bible
“O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.”
“Remember not against us the iniquities of our forefathers: Let thy tender mercies speedily meet us; For we are brought very low. ”
“Don't hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us. Let your tender mercies speedily meet us, for we are in desperate need.”
“O God of hosts, convert us: and shew thy face, and we shall be saved.”
“Do not keep in mind against us the sins of our fathers; let your mercy come to us quickly, for we have been made very low.”
“O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.”
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!
Listen to the painful cries of the prisoners! Use your great strength to set free those condemned to die!
