A Psalm of Asaph.
1The nationsH1471, O GodH430, have invadedH935 Your inheritanceH5159;they have defiledH2930 Your holyH6944 templeH1964and reducedH7760 JerusalemH3389 to rubbleH5856.2They have givenH5414 the corpsesH5038 of Your servantsH5650as foodH3978 to the birdsH5775 of the airH8064,the fleshH1320 of Your saintsH2623 to the beastsH2416 of the earthH776.3They have poured outH8210 their bloodH1818 like waterH4325all aroundH5439 JerusalemH3389,and there is no oneH369 to buryH6912 the dead.4We have becomeH1961 a reproachH2781 to our neighborsH7934,a scornH3933 and derisionH7047 to those around usH5439.5How longH5704H4100, O LORDH3068?Will You be angryH599 foreverH5331?Will Your jealousyH7068 burnH1197 likeH3644 fireH784?6Pour outH8210 Your wrathH2534 onH413 the nationsH1471thatH834 do notH3808 acknowledge YouH3045,onH5921 the kingdomsH4467thatH834 refuseH3808 to callH7121 on Your nameH8034,7forH3588 they have devouredH398 JacobH3290and devastatedH8074 his homelandH5116.
8Do not holdH2142H408 pastH7223 sinsH5771 against us;let Your compassionH7356 comeH6923 quicklyH4118,forH3588 we are broughtH1809 lowH3966.9Help usH5826, O GodH430 of our salvationH3468,forH5921H1697 the gloryH3519 of Your nameH8034;deliver usH5337 and atoneH3722 forH5921 our sinsH2403,for the sakeH4616 of Your nameH8034.10WhyH4100 should the nationsH1471 askH559,“WhereH346 is their GodH430?”Before our eyesH5869, make knownH3045 among the nationsH1471Your vengeanceH5360 for the bloodshedH1818H8210 of Your servantsH5650.
11May the groansH603 of the captivesH616 reach YouH935H6440;by the strengthH1433 of Your armH2220 preserveH3498 those condemnedH1121 to deathH8546.12Pay backH7725 intoH413 the lapsH2436 of our neighborsH7934sevenfoldH7659 the reproachH2781 they hurled at YouH2778, O LordH136.13Then weH587 Your peopleH5971, the sheepH6629 of Your pastureH4830,will thankH3034 You foreverH5769;from generationH1755 to generationH1755we will declareH5608 Your praiseH8416.
