Psalms 79
A psalm for Asaph. O God, the heathens are come into
thy inheritance, they have defiled thy holy temple:
they have made Jerusalem as a place to keep fruit.
They have given the dead bodies of thy servants to be
meat for the fowls of the air: the flesh of thy saints
for the beasts of the earth.
They have poured out their blood as water, round about
Jerusalem and there was none to bury them.
We are become a reproach to our neighbours: a scorn
and derision to them that are round about us.
How long, O Lord, wilt thou be angry for ever: shall
thy zeal be kindled like a fire?
Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that have not known
thee: and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon
thy name.
Because they have devoured Jacob; and have laid waste
his place.
Remember not our former iniquities: let thy mercies
speedily prevent us, for we are become exceeding poor.
Help us, O God, our saviour: and for the glory of thy
name, O Lord, deliver us: and forgive us our sins for
thy name's sake:
Lest they should say among the Gentiles: Where is their
God? And let him be made known among the nations before
our eyes, By the revenging the blood of thy servants,
which hath been shed:
let the sighing of the prisoners come in before thee.
According to the greatness of thy arm, take possession
of the children of them that have been put to death.
And render to our neighbours sevenfold in their bosom:
the reproach wherewith they have reproached thee, O
Lord.
But we thy people, and the sheep of thy pasture, will
give thanks to thee for ever. We will shew forth thy
praise, unto generation and generation.
