Psalm 79

1 A Psalm4210 of Asaph.623 O God,430 the heathen1471 are come935 into your inheritance;5159 your holy6944 temple1964 have they defiled;2930 they have laid7760 Jerusalem3389 on heaps.5856

2 The dead5038 bodies5038 of your servants5650 have they given5414 to be meat3978 to the fowls5775 of the heaven,8064 the flesh1320 of your saints2623 to the beasts2416 of the earth.776

3 Their blood1818 have they shed8210 like water4325 round5439 about Jerusalem;3389 and there was none369 to bury6912 them.

4 We are become1961 a reproach2781 to our neighbors,7934 a scorn3933 and derision7047 to them that are round5439 about us.

5 How5704 long,5704 LORD?3068 will you be angry599 for ever?5331 shall your jealousy7068 burn1197 like fire?784

6 Pour8210 out your wrath2534 on the heathen1471 that have not known3045 you, and on the kingdoms4467 that have not called7121 on your name.8034

7 For they have devoured398 Jacob,3290 and laid waste8074 his dwelling5116 place.

8 O remember2142 not against us former7223 iniquities:5771 let your tender mercies7356 speedily4118 prevent6923 us: for we are brought1809 very3966 low.1809

9 Help5826 us, O God430 of our salvation,3468 for the glory3519 of your name:8034 and deliver5337 us, and purge3722 away our sins,2403 for your name's8034 sake.4616

10 Why4100 should the heathen1471 say,559 Where346 is their God?430 let him be known3045 among the heathen1471 in our sight5869 by the revenging5360 of the blood1818 of your servants5650 which is shed.8210

11 Let the sighing603 of the prisoner616 come935 before6440 you; according to the greatness1433 of your power2220 preserve3498 you those that are appointed1121 to die;8546

12 And render7725 to our neighbors7934 sevenfold7659 into413 their bosom2436 their reproach,2781 with which834 they have reproached2778 you, O Lord.136

13 So we your people5971 and sheep6629 of your pasture4830 will give you thanks3034 for ever:5769 we will show5608 forth5608 your praise8416 to all generations.1755

Psalms

Psalm 79

1 GOD, the heathen 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 to the fowls of the heavens, the flesh of thy saints to 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 scorn and derision to them that are round about us.

5 How long, O LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy anger burn like fire?

6 Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.

7 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.

8 O remember not against us our former sins; let thy tender mercies speedily overtake us; for we are brought very low.

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

10 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? Let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed.

11 Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power, free thou those that are appointed to die.

12 And render to our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O LORD.

13 So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever; we will tell thy wonders to all generations.
