Psalms  


79 : 1 O God, the nations have invaded your inheritance; they have defiled your holy temple, they have reduced Jerusalem to rubble.
79 : 2 They have given the dead bodies of your servants as food to the birds of the air, the flesh of your saints to the beasts of the earth.
79 : 3 They have poured out blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there is no one to bury the dead.
79 : 4 We are objects of reproach to our neighbors, of scorn and derision to those around us.
79 : 5 How long, O LORD ? Will you be angry forever? How long will your jealousy burn like fire?
79 : 6 Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge you, on the kingdoms that do not call on your name;
79 : 7 for they have devoured Jacob and destroyed his homeland.
79 : 8 Do not hold against us the sins of the fathers; may your mercy come quickly to meet us, for we are in desperate need.
79 : 9 Help us, O God our Savior, for the glory of your name; deliver us and forgive our sins for your name`s sake.
79 : 10 Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?" Before our eyes, make known among the nations that you avenge the outpoured blood of your servants.
79 : 11 May the groans of the prisoners come before you; by the strength of your arm preserve those condemned to die.
79 : 12 Pay back into the laps of our neighbors seven times the reproach they have hurled at you, O Lord.
79 : 13 Then we your people, the sheep of your pasture, will praise you forever; from generation to generation we will recount your praise.
