Psalm 79:7

Faith Amid Confusion

⁶ Pour out Your wrath upon the nations which do not know You,
And upon the kingdoms which do not call upon Your name.
⁷ For they have devoured Jacob
And laid waste his habitation.
⁸ Do not remember the iniquities of our forefathers against us;
Let Your compassion come quickly to meet us,
For we are brought very low.

Jacob
