5. How long, Lord? Will you be angry for ever?How long will your jealousy burn like fire?
6. Pour out your wrath on the nationsthat do not acknowledge you,on the kingdomsthat do not call on your name;
7. for they have devoured Jacoband devastated his homeland.
8. Do not hold against us the sins of past generations;may your mercy come quickly to meet us,for we are in desperate need.
