Chapter 79

1


 

  A Psalm of Asaph. O God, nations have come into Thy inheritance, They have defiled Thy holy temple, They made Jerusalem become heaps,  

 

 

-

2


 

  They gave the dead bodies of Thy servants Food for the fowls of the heavens, The flesh of Thy saints For the wild beast of the earth.  

 

 

-

3


 

  They have shed their blood As water round about Jerusalem, And there is none burying.  

 

 

-

4


 

  We have been a reproach to our neighbours, A scorn and a derision to our surrounders.  

 

 

-

5


 

  Till when, O Jehovah? art Thou angry for ever? Thy jealousy doth burn as fire.  

 

 

-

6


 

  Pour Thy fury on the nations who have not known Thee, And on kingdoms that have not called in Thy name.  

 

 

-

7


 

  For [one] hath devoured Jacob, And his habitation they have made desolate.  

 

 

-

8


 

  Remember not for us the iniquities of forefathers, Haste, let Thy mercies go before us, For we have been very weak.  

 

 

-

9


 

  Help us, O God of our salvation, Because of the honour of Thy name, And deliver us, and cover over our sins, For Thy name's sake.  

 

 

-

10


 

  Why do the nations say, 'Where [is] their God?' Let be known among the nations before our eyes, The vengeance of the blood of Thy servants that is shed.  

 

 

-

11


 

  Let the groaning of the prisoner come in before Thee, According to the greatness of Thine arm, Leave Thou the sons of death.  

 

 

-

12


 

  And turn Thou back to our neighbours, Sevenfold unto their bosom, their reproach, Wherewith they reproached Thee, O Lord.  

 

 

-

13


 

  And we, Thy people, and the flock of Thy pasture, We give thanks to Thee to the age, To all generations we recount Thy praise!
