Plea for Mercy for Jerusalem

79A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the nations have come into your inheritance; they have defiled your holy temple; they have laid Jerusalem in ruins.H4210H623H430H1471H935H5159H6944H1964H2930H7760H3389H5856 2They have given the bodies of your servants to the birds of the air for food, the flesh of your faithful to the wild animals of the earth.H5038H5650H5414H3978H5775H8064H1320H2623H2416H776 3They have poured out their blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there was no one to bury them.H1818H8210H4325H5439H3389H6912 4We have become a taunt to our neighbors, mocked and derided by those around us.H2781H7934H3933H7047H5439 5How long, O LORD? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealous wrath burn like fire?H3068H599H5331H7068H1197H784 6Pour out your anger on the nations that do not know you, and on the kingdoms that do not call on your name.H8210H2534H1471H3045H4467H7121H8034 7For they have devoured Jacob and laid waste his habitation.H398H3290H8074H5116 8Do not remember against us the iniquities of our ancestors; let your compassion come speedily to meet us, for we are brought very low.H2142H7223H5771H7356H4118H6923H1809H3966H1809 9Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of your name; deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your name's sake.H5826H430H3468H1697H3519H8034H5337H3722H2403H8034 10Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?" Let the avenging of the outpoured blood of your servants be known among the nations before our eyes.H1471H559H430H3045H1471H5869H5360H1818H5650H8210 11Let the groans of the prisoners come before you; according to your great power preserve those doomed to die.H603H615H935H6440H1433H2220H3498H1121H8546 12Return sevenfold into the bosom of our neighbors the taunts with which they taunted you, O Lord!H7725H7934H7659H2436H2781H2778H136 13Then we your people, the flock of your pasture, will give thanks to you forever; from generation to generation we will recount your praise.H5971H6629H4830H3034H5769H5608H8416H1755H1755
