Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” Let it be known among the nations before our eyes: Vengeance for the blood of Your slaves which has been poured out.
Let the priests, the ministers of Yahweh, Weep between the porch and the altar, And let them say, “Pity Your people, O Yahweh, And do not make Your inheritance a reproach, A byword among the nations. Why should they among the peoples say, ‘Where is their God?’ ”
Then my enemy will see, And shame will cover her who said to me, “Where is Yahweh your God?” My eyes will look on her; At that time she will be trampled down Like mire of the streets.
