Psalm 79:8
Do not hold past sins against us; let Your compassion come quickly, for we are brought low.
O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.
Note former…: or, the iniquities of them that were before us
Don’t hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us. Let your tender mercies speedily meet us, for we are in desperate need.
Remember not against us the iniquities of our forefathers: Let thy tender mercies speedily meet us; For we are brought very low.
