79[A psalm of Asaph.] God, the nations have invaded Your inheritance, desecrated Your holy temple, and turned Jerusalem into ruins.H4210H623H430H1471H935H5159H6944H1964H2930H7760H3389H58562They gave the corpses of Your servants to the birds of the sky for food, the flesh of Your godly ones to the beasts of the earth.H5038H5650H5414H3978H5775H8064H1320H2623H2416H7763They poured out their blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there was no one to bury [them].H1818H8210H4325H5439H3389H69124We have become an object of reproach to our neighbors, a source of mockery and ridicule to those around us.H2781H7934H3933H7047H54395How long, LORD? Will You be angry forever? Will Your jealousy keep burning like fire?H3068H599H5331H7068H1197H7846Pour out Your wrath on the nations that don't acknowledge You, on the kingdoms that don't call on Your name,H8210H2534H1471H3045H4467H7121H80347for they have devoured Jacob and devastated his homeland.H398H3290H8074H51168Do not hold past sins against us; let Your compassion come to us quickly, for we have become weak.H2142H7223H5771H7356H4118H6923H1809H3966H18099God of our salvation, help us— for the glory of Your name.
