Verse 5 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.

HERR, wie lange willst du so gar zürnen und deinen Eifer wie Feuer brennen lassen?
¿Hasta cuándo, oh Jehová? ¿has de estar airado para siempre? ¿Arderá como fuego tu celo?
¿Hasta cuándo, Jehová? ¿Estarás enojado para siempre? ¿Arderá tu celo como el fuego?
Jusques à quand, Eternel! t'irriteras-tu sans cesse, Et ta colère s'embrasera-t-elle comme le feu?
Infino a quando, Signore, sarai adirato? La tua gelosia arderà ella come un fuoco in perpetuo?
Até quando, SENHOR? Acaso te indignarás para sempre? Arderá o teu zelo como fogo?
耶和華啊,你發怒要到幾時呢? 要到永遠嗎? 你的忌恨要如火焚燒嗎?
