‏ Psalms 79:8-9

Verse 8. Remember not against us former iniquities] Visit us not for the sins of our forefathers.

Speedily prevent us] Let them go before us, and turn us out of the path of destruction; for there is no help for us but in thee.

We are brought very low.] Literally, "We are greatly thinned." Few of us remain.

Verse 9. Purge away our sins] capper, be propitiated, or receive an atonement ( al chattotheynu) on account of our sins.
