Psalm 79:5-7
New English Translation

5 How long will this go on, O Lord?[a]
Will you stay angry forever?
How long will your rage[b] burn like fire?
6 Pour out your anger on the nations that do not acknowledge you,[c]
on the kingdoms that do not pray to you.[d]
7 For they have devoured Jacob
and destroyed his home.
