Chapter 79

1


 

  {A Psalm of Asaph.} O God, the nations are come into thine inheritance: thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem in heaps.  

 

 

-

2


 

  The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowl of the heavens, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth:  

 

 

-

3


 

  Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem, and there was none to bury [them].  

 

 

-

4


 

  We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a mockery and a derision to them that are round about us.  

 

 

-

5


 

  How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou be angry for ever? Shall thy jealousy burn like fire?  

 

 

-

6


 

  Pour out thy fury upon the nations that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that call not upon thy name:  

 

 

-

7


 

  For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his habitation.  

 

 

-

8


 

  Remember not against us the iniquities of [our] forefathers; let thy tender mercies speedily come to meet us: for we are brought very low.  

 

 

-

9


 

  Help us, O God of our salvation, because of the glory of thy name; and deliver us, and forgive our sins, for thy name's sake.  

 

 

-

10


 

  Wherefore should the nations say, Where is their God? Let the avenging of the blood of thy servants that is shed be known among the nations in our sight.  

 

 

-

11


 

  Let the groaning of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thine arm, preserve those that are appointed to die;  

 

 

-

12


 

  And render unto our neighbours, sevenfold into their bosom, their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.  

 

 

-

13


 

  And we, thy people and the sheep of thy pasture, will give thanks unto thee for ever; we will shew forth thy praise from generation to generation.
