79O God, the heathen have invaded your land. They have desecrated your holy Temple and left Jerusalem in ruins.H4210H623H430H1471H935H5159H6944H1964H2930H7760H3389H58562They left the bodies of your people for the vultures, the bodies of your servants for wild animals to eat.H5038H5650H5414H3978H5775H8064H1320H2623H2416H7763They shed your people's blood like water; blood flowed like water all through Jerusalem, and no one was left to bury the dead.H1818H8210H4325H5439H3389H69124The surrounding nations insult us; they laugh at us and mock us.H2781H7934H3933H7047H54395LORD, will you be angry with us forever? Will your anger continue to burn like fire?H3068H599H5331H7068H1197H7846Turn your anger on the nations that do not worship you, on the people who do not pray to you.H8210H2534H1471H3045H4467H7121H80347For they have killed your people; they have ruined your country.H398H3290H8074H51168Do not punish us for the sins of our ancestors. Have mercy on us now; we have lost all hope.H2142H7223H5771H7356H4118H6923H1809H3966H18099Help us, O God, and save us; rescue us and forgive our sins for the sake of your own honor.H5826H430H3468H1697H3519H8034H5337H3722H2403H803410Why should the nations ask us, "Where is your God?" Let us see you punish the nations for shedding the blood of your servants.H1471H559H430H3045H1471H5869H5360H1818H5650H821011Listen to the groans of the prisoners, and by your great power free those who are condemned to die.H603H615H935H6440H1433H2220H3498H1121H854612Lord, pay the other nations back seven times for all the insults they have hurled at you.H7725H7934H7659H2436H2781H2778H13613Then we, your people, the sheep of your flock, will thank you forever and praise you for all time to come.H5971H6629H4830H3034H5769H5608H8416H1755H1755
