⁶Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee,

⁷For they have devoured Jacob,

⁸O remember not against us former iniquities:

⁹Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name:

¹⁰Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God?

¹¹Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee,

¹²And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom

¹³So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture
