Psalm 79:10

10 Why should the nations say,
“Where is their God?”(A)
Before our eyes make known to the nations
that you avenge the blood of your servants which has been poured out.(B)
Joel 2:17
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
17 Between the porch and the altar[a]
let the priests weep,
let the ministers of the Lord weep and say:
“Spare your people, Lord!
do not let your heritage become a disgrace,
a byword among the nations!
Why should they say among the peoples,
‘Where is their God?’”(A)
