# Chapter 79
|
|
1. O God, the nations have come into Your inheritance;
|
|
Your holy temple they have defiled;
|
|
They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.
|
|
|
|
2. The dead bodies of Your servants
|
|
They have given as food for the birds of the heavens,
|
|
The flesh of Your saints to the beasts of the earth.
|
|
|
|
3. Their blood they have shed like water all around Jerusalem,
|
|
And there was no one to bury them.
|
|
|
|
4. We have become a reproach to our neighbors,
|
|
A scorn and derision to those who are around us.
|
|
|
|
5. How long, Lord?
|
|
Will You be angry forever?
|
|
Will Your jealousy burn like fire?
|
|
|
|
6. Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not know You,
|
|
And on the kingdoms that do not call on Your name.
|
|
|
|
7. For they have devoured Jacob,
|
|
And laid waste his dwelling place.
|
|
|
|
8. Oh, do not remember former iniquities against us!
|
|
Let Your tender mercies come speedily to meet us,
|
|
For we have been brought very low.
|
|
|
|
9. Help us, O God of our salvation,
|
|
For the glory of Your name;
|
|
And deliver us, and provide atonement for our sins,
|
|
For Your name's sake!
|
|
|
|
10. Why should the nations say,
|
|
"Where is their God?"
|
|
Let there be known among the nations in our sight
|
|
The avenging of the blood of Your servants which has been shed.
|
|
|
|
11. Let the groaning of the prisoner come before You;
|
|
According to the greatness of Your power
|
|
Preserve those who are appointed to die;
|
|
|
|
12. And return to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom
|
|
Their reproach with which they have reproached You, O Lord.
|
|
|
|
13. So we, Your people and sheep of Your pasture,
|
|
Will give You thanks forever;
|
|
We will show forth Your praise to all generations.
