Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t know you,
on the kingdoms that don’t call on your name,
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Psalms 79:6 in context
Psalms 79:3–9
3
They have shed their blood like water around Jerusalem.
There was no one to bury them.
4
We have become a reproach to our neighbors,
a scoffing and derision to those who are around us.
5
How long, LORD?
Will you be angry forever?
Will your jealousy burn like fire?
6
Selected verse
Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t know you,
on the kingdoms that don’t call on your name,
7
for they have devoured Jacob,
and destroyed his homeland.
8
Don’t hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us.
Let your tender mercies speedily meet us,
for we are in desperate need.
9
Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of your name.
Deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your name’s sake.
