“Pay back into the laps of our neighbors sevenfold the reproach they hurled at You, O Lord.”
Psalm 79:12 (BSB)
Context Reading
10Why should the nations ask, “Where is their God?” Before our eyes, make known among the nations Your vengeance for the bloodshed of Your servants. 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.
