Psalms 79:1 - Prayer Tents

A Lament over the Destruction of Jerusalem, and Prayer for Help.

79{A Psalm of Asaph.} O God, the nations have invaded Thine inheritance; They have defiled Thy holy temple; They have laid Jerusalem in ruins.H4210H623H430H1471H935H5159H6944H1964H2930H7760H3389H5856 2They have given the dead bodies of Thy servants for food to the birds of the heavens, The flesh of Thy godly ones to the beasts of the earth.H5038H5650H5414H3978H5775H8064H1320H2623H2416H776 3They have poured out their blood like water round about Jerusalem; And there was no one to bury them.H1818H8210H4325H5439H3389H6912 4We have become a reproach to our neighbors, A scoffing and derision to those around us.H2781H7934H3933H7047H5439 5How long, O LORD? Wilt Thou be angry forever? Will Thy jealousy burn like fire?H3068H599H5331H7068H1197H784 6Pour out Thy wrath upon the nations which do not know Thee, And upon the kingdoms which do not call upon Thy name.H8210H2534H1471H3045H4467H7121H8034 7For they have devoured Jacob, And laid waste his habitation.H398H3290H8074H5116 8Do not remember the iniquities of [our] forefathers against us; Let Thy compassion come quickly to meet us; For we are brought very low.H2142H7223H5771H7356H4118H6923H1809H3966H1809 9Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of Thy name; And deliver us, and forgive our sins, for Thy name's sake.H5826H430H3468H1697H3519H8034H5337H3722H2403H8034 10Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?" Let there be known among the nations in our sight, Vengeance for the blood of Thy servants, which has been shed.H1471H559H430H3045H1471H5869H5360H1818H5650H8210 11Let the groaning of the prisoner come before Thee; According to the greatness of Thy power preserve those who are doomed to die.H603H615H935H6440H1433H2220H3498H1121H8546 12And return to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom The reproach with which they have reproached Thee, O Lord.H7725H7934H7659H2436H2781H2778H136 13So we Thy people and the sheep of Thy pasture Will give thanks to Thee forever; To all generations we will tell of Thy praise.H5971H6629H4830H3034H5769H5608H8416H1755H1755
