Compare all
5 aHow long, Lord?
Will You be angry forever?
Will Your bjealousy burn like fire? 
6 aPour out Your wrath on the1 nations that bdo not know You,
And on the kingdoms that cdo not call on Your name. 
7 For they have devoured Jacob,
And laid waste his dwelling place.
8 aOh, do not remember1 former iniquities against us!
Let Your tender mercies come speedily to meet us,
For we have been brought very low. 
9 Help us, O God of our salvation,
For the glory of Your name;
And deliver us, and provide atonement for our sins,
aFor Your name’s sake!

Psalms 79:7

For they have devoured Jacob - literally, "They have eaten." That is, they have eaten up what the land produced.

And laid waste his dwelling-place - His home; his habitation; the residence of Jacob, or of the people of Israel.
