Psalms 79:1-7

1God, the nations have invaded your inheritance, desecrated your holy temple, and turned Jerusalem into ruins.

2They gave the corpses of your servants to the birds of the sky for food, the flesh of your faithful ones to the beasts of the earth.

3They poured out their blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there was no one to bury them.

4We have become an object of reproach to our neighbors, a source of mockery and ridicule to those around us.

5How long, Lord? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy keep burning like fire?

6Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t acknowledge you, on the kingdoms that don’t call on your name,

7for they have devoured Jacob and devastated his homeland.
