In context
5How long, O Lord? wilt thou be angry forever? Shall thy jealousy burn like fire?
6Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, And upon the kingdoms which have not called upon thy name.
— Psalms 78:7 —
8Remember not our old transgressions; Let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us; For we are greatly impoverished.
9Help us, O God our Savior; For the glory of thy name, O Lord, deliver us; And be merciful to our sins, for thy name’s sake.
