Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”

The Lord demonstrates his power to deliver; in the sight of the nations he reveals his justice.

The nations’ idols are made of silver and gold, they are man-made.

Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” Before our very eyes may the shed blood of your servants be avenged among the nations!

Rise up, O God, and execute judgment on the earth! For you own all the nations.

Deliver us, O Lord, our God! Gather us from among the nations! Then we will give thanks to your holy name, and boast about your praiseworthy deeds.

You, O Lord God, the invincible warrior, the God of Israel, rouse yourself and punish all the nations! Have no mercy on any treacherous evildoers! (Selah)

Pour out your anger on the nations that do not acknowledge you, on the kingdoms that do not pray to you!
