Psalms 79:8 - Compare All Versions

Do not hold against us the sins of past generations; may your mercy come quickly to meet us, for we are in desperate need.

Do not remember against us our former iniquities; let your compassion come speedily to meet us, for we are brought very low.

Do not hold us guilty for the sins of our ancestors! Let your compassion quickly meet our needs, for we are on the brink of despair.

Do not hold past iniquities  against us; let your compassion come to us quickly, for we have become very weak.

O remember not against us former iniquities: Let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: For we are brought very low.

Oh, do not remember former iniquities against us! Let Your tender mercies come speedily to meet us, For we have been brought very low.

Don’t blame us for the sins of our parents. Hurry up and help us; we’re at the end of our rope. You’re famous for helping; God, give us a break. Your reputation is on the line. Pull us out of this mess, forgive us our sins— do what you’re famous for doing! Don’t let the heathen get by with their sneers: “Where’s your God? Is he out to lunch?” Go public and show the godless world that they can’t kill your servants and get by with it.

¶Do not hold us responsible for the guilty deeds of our forefathers; Let Your compassion come quickly to meet us, For we have become very low.

¶O do not remember against us the sins and guilt of our forefathers. Let Your compassion and mercy come quickly to meet us, For we have been brought very low.

Do not hold us accountable for the sins of earlier generations! Quickly send your compassion our way, for we are in serious trouble!
