Psalm 79:7

Faith Amid Confusion

⁶ Pour out Your wrath on the nations
that don’t acknowledge You,
on the kingdoms that don’t call on Your name,
⁷ for they have devoured Jacob
and devastated his homeland.
⁸ Do not hold past sins against us;
let Your compassion come to us quickly,
for we have become weak.

Jacob
