Psalms 79

1A Psalm of Asaph. O God^H430, the nations^H1471 are come^H935 into thine inheritance^H5159; Thy holy^H6944 temple^H1964 have they defiled^H2930; They have laid^H7760 Jerusalem^H3389 in heaps^H5856. 2The dead bodies^H5038 of thy servants^H5650 have they given^H5414 to be food^H3978 unto the birds^H5775 of the heavens^H8064, The flesh^H1320 of thy saints^H2623 unto the beasts^H2416 of the earth^H776. 3Their blood^H1818 have they shed^H8210 like water^H4325 round about^H5439 Jerusalem^H3389; And there was none to bury^H6912 them. 4We are become a reproach^H2781 to our neighbors^H7934, A scoffing^H3933 and derision^H7047 to them that are round about^H5439 us. 5How long, O Jehovah^H3068? wilt thou be angry^H599 for ever^H5331? Shall thy jealousy^H7068 burn^H1197 like fire^H784? 6Pour out^H8210 thy wrath^H2534 upon the nations^H1471 that know^H3045 thee not, And upon the kingdoms^H4467 that call^H7121 not upon thy name^H8034. 7For they have devoured^H398 Jacob^H3290, And laid waste^H8074 his habitation^H5116. 8Remember^H2142 not against us the iniquities^H5771 of our forefathers^H7223: Let thy tender mercies^H7356 speedily^H4118 meet^H6923 us; For we are brought^H1809 very^H3966 low^H1809. 9Help^H5826 us, O God^H430 of our salvation^H3468, for^H1697 the glory^H3519 of thy name^H8034; And deliver^H5337 us, and forgive^H3722 our sins^H2403, for thy name's^H8034 sake. 10Wherefore should the nations^H1471 say^H559, Where is their God^H430? Let the avenging^H5360 of the blood^H1818 of thy servants^H5650 which is shed^H8210 Be known^H3045 among the nations^H1471 in our sight^H5869. 11Let the sighing^H603 of the prisoner^H615 come^H935 before^H6440 thee: According to the greatness^H1433 of thy power^H2220 preserve^H3498 thou those that are appointed^H1121 to death^H8546; 12And render^H7725 unto our neighbors^H7934 sevenfold^H7659 into their bosom^H2436 Their reproach^H2781, wherewith they have reproached^H2778 thee, O Lord^H136. 13So we thy people^H5971 and sheep^H6629 of thy pasture^H4830 Will give thee thanks^H3034 for ever^H5769: We will show forth^H5608 thy praise^H8416 to all^H1755 generations^H1755.
