Psalms 79
A Psalm of Asaph.
1O GodH430, the nationsH1471 are comeH935 into thine inheritanceH5159;Thy holyH6944 templeH1964 have they defiledH2930;They have laid JerusalemH3389 in heaps.2The dead bodiesH1320 of thy servantsH5650 have they givenH5414 to be foodH3978 unto the birdsH5775 of the heavensH8064,The fleshH1320 of thy saints unto the beasts of the earthH776.3Their bloodH1818 have they shedH8210 like waterH4325 roundH5439 about JerusalemH3389;And there was none to buryH6912 them.4We areH1961 becomeH1961 a reproachH2781 to our neighborsH7934,A scoffing and derision to them that areH1961 roundH5439 about us.5HowH4100 long, O Jehovah? wilt thou be angryH599 for ever?Shall thy jealousyH7068 burnH1197 like fireH784?6PourH8210 out thy wrathH2534 upon the nationsH1471 that knowH3045 thee not,And upon the kingdomsH4467 that callH7121 not upon thy nameH8034.7For they have devouredH398 JacobH3290,And laid waste his habitation.8RememberH2142 not against us the iniquitiesH5771 of our forefathers:Let thy tender mercies speedily meetH6923 us;For we are brought veryH3966 lowH1809.9HelpH5826 us, O GodH430 of our salvationH3468, for the gloryH3519 of thy nameH8034;And deliverH5337 us, and forgive our sinsH2403, for thy name’sH8034 sakeH4616.10Wherefore should the nationsH1471 sayH559, WhereH346 is their GodH430?Let the avenging of the bloodH1818 of thy servantsH5650 which is shedH8210Be knownH3045 among the nationsH1471 in our sight.11Let the sighing of the prisonerH616 comeH935 before thee:According to the greatnessH1433 of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to deathH8546;12And render unto our neighborsH7934 sevenfoldH7659 into their bosomH2436Their reproachH2781, wherewith they have reproached thee, O LordH136.13So we thy peopleH5971 and sheepH6629 of thy pastureH4830Will giveH3034 thee thanksH3034 for everH5769:We will show forth thy praiseH8416 to all generationsH1755.
