Psalms 79:1 - Prayer Tents

A Dirge and a Prayer for Israel, Destroyed by Enemies

79A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the nations have come into Your inheritance; Your holy temple they have defiled; They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.H4210H623H430H1471H935H5159H6944H1964H2930H7760H3389H5856 2The dead bodies of Your servants They have given as food for the birds of the heavens, The flesh of Your saints to the beasts of the earth.H5038H5650H5414H3978H5775H8064H1320H2623H2416H776 3Their blood they have shed like water all around Jerusalem, And there was no one to bury them.H1818H8210H4325H5439H3389H6912 4We have become a reproach to our neighbors, A scorn and derision to those who are around us.H2781H7934H3933H7047H5439 5How long, LORD? Will You be angry forever? Will Your jealousy burn like fire?H3068H599H5331H7068H1197H784 6Pour out Your wrath 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 dwelling place.H398H3290H8074H5116 8Oh, do not remember former iniquities against us! Let Your tender mercies come speedily to meet us, For we have been brought very low.H2142H7223H5771H7356H4118H6923H1809H3966H1809 9Help us, O God of our salvation, For the glory of Your name; And deliver us, and provide atonement for our sins, For Your name's sake!H5826H430H3468H1697H3519H8034H5337H3722H2403H8034 10Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?" Let there be known among the nations in our sight The avenging of the blood of Your servants which has been shed.H1471H559H430H3045H1471H5869H5360H1818H5650H8210 11Let the groaning of the prisoner come before You; According to the greatness of Your power Preserve those who are appointed to die;H603H615H935H6440H1433H2220H3498H1121H8546 12And return to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom Their reproach with which they have reproached You, O Lord.H7725H7934H7659H2436H2781H2778H136 13So we, Your people and sheep of Your pasture, Will give You thanks forever; We will show forth Your praise to all generations.H5971H6629H4830H3034H5769H5608H8416H1755H1755
