Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed.

Verse 10 is found in chapter 79 of Psalms. Psalm 79 laments a national desecration in which the nations have invaded God’s inheritance and defiled the temple. The request is not limited to recovering territory: the honor of the divine name is at stake. The psalmist asks forgiveness for the people’s sins and justice against those who shed blood. The conclusion promises that Israel, as God’s people, will proclaim his praise from generation to generation.

Warum lässest du die Heiden sagen: "Wo ist nun ihr Gott?" Laß unter den Heiden vor unsern Augen kund werden die Rache des Blutes deiner Knechte, das vergossen ist.
Porque dirán las gentes: ¿Dónde está su Dios? Sea notoria en las gentes, delante de nuestros ojos, La venganza de la sangre de tus siervos, que fue derramada.
¿Por qué han de decir las naciones: «¿Dónde está su Dios?»? Que ante nuestros ojos se conozca entre las naciones la venganza por la sangre derramada de tus siervos.
Pourquoi les nations diraient-elles: Où est leur Dieu? Qu'on sache, en notre présence, parmi les nations, Que tu venges le sang de tes serviteurs, le sang répandu!
Perchè direbbero le genti: Ove è l’Iddio loro? Fa’ che sia conosciuta fra le genti, nel nostro cospetto, La vendetta del sangue sparso de’ tuoi servitori.
Porque diriam os gentios: Onde está o seu Deus? Seja ele conhecido entre os gentios, à nossa vista, pela vingança do sangue dos teus servos, que foi derramado.
為何讓列國說「他們的上帝在哪裏」呢? 求你讓列國知道, 你在我們眼前伸你僕人流血的冤。
