A well-written song
74:1 Why, O God, have you permanently rejected us?
Why does your anger burn
77:9 Has God forgotten to be merciful?
Has his anger stifled his compassion?”
79:5 How long will this go on, O Lord?
Will you stay angry forever?
How long will your rage
80:4 O Lord God, invincible warrior!
How long will you remain angry at your people while they pray to you?
89:46 How long, O Lord, will this last?
Will you remain hidden forever?
Will your anger continue to burn like fire?
64:9 Lord, do not be too angry!
Do not hold our sins against us continually!
Take a good look at your people, at all of us!
64:10 Your chosen
Zion has become a desert,
Jerusalem
64:11 Our holy temple, our pride and joy,
the place where our ancestors praised you,
has been burned with fire;
all our prized possessions have been destroyed.
64:12 In light of all this,
How can you be silent and continue to humiliate us?
7:18 There is no other God like you!
You
and pardon
of those who remain among your people.
You do not remain angry forever,
but delight in showing loyal love.
