Psalm 79:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let them be known among the heathen in our sight by the vengeance of the blood of thy servants that is shed.
11 Let the sighing of the [a]prisoners come before thee: according to thy mighty arm preserve [b]the children of death,
12 And render to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.

Psalm 79:10-12
New International Version
10 Why should the nations say,
“Where is their God?”(A)
Before our eyes, make known among the nations
that you avenge(B) the outpoured blood(C) of your servants.
11 May the groans of the prisoners come before you;
with your strong arm preserve those condemned to die.
12 Pay back into the laps(D) of our neighbors seven times(E)
the contempt they have hurled at you, Lord.
