Psalms 79:12

A Prayer for Deliverance

11May the groans of the captives reach You; by the strength of Your arm preserve those condemned to death. 12Pay back into the laps of our neighbors sevenfold the reproach they hurled at You, O Lord. 13Then we Your people, the sheep of Your pasture, will thank You forever; from generation to generation we will declare Your praise.
