Psalms 79

1 A psalm of Asaph O God they have come [the] nations - in inheritance your they have made unclean [the] temple of holiness your they have made Jerusalem into heaps of ruins.

A Psalm of Asaph. O God, nations have come into Thy inheritance, They have defiled Thy holy temple, They made Jerusalem become heaps,

2 They have given [the] corpse[s] of servants your food to [the] bird[s] of the heavens [the] flesh faithful [people] your to [the] animal[s] of [the] earth.

They gave the dead bodies of Thy servants Food for the fowls of the heavens, The flesh of Thy saints For the wild beast of the earth.

3 They have poured out blood their - like water round about Jerusalem and there not [was one who] buried [them].

They have shed their blood As water round about Jerusalem, And there is none burying.

4 We have become a reproach to neighbors our mockery and derision to [those] around us.

We have been a reproach to our neighbours, A scorn and a derision to our surrounders.

5 Until when? O Yahweh will you be angry? to perpetuity will it burn? like fire jealousy your.

Till when, O Jehovah? art Thou angry for ever? Thy jealousy doth burn as fire.

6 Pour out anger your against the nations which not they know you and on kingdoms which on name your not they call.

Pour Thy fury on the nations who have not known Thee, And on kingdoms that have not called in Thy name.

7 For it has consumed Jacob and habitation its they have devastated.

For [one] hath devoured Jacob, And his habitation they have made desolate.

8 May not you remember to us iniquities former [surely] quickly may they come to meet us compassion your for we have become low exceedingly.

Remember not for us the iniquities of forefathers, Haste, let Thy mercies go before us, For we have been very weak.

9 Help us - O God of salvation our on [the] matter of [the] glory of name your and deliver us and atone on sins our for [the] sake of name your.

Help us, O God of our salvation, Because of the honour of Thy name, And deliver us, and cover over our sins, For Thy name's sake.

10 Why? - will they say the nations where? [is] God their let it be known (among the nations *Qk) to eyes our [the] vengeance of [the] blood of servants your poured out.

Why do the nations say, 'Where [is] their God?' Let be known among the nations before our eyes, The vengeance of the blood of Thy servants that is shed.

11 May it come before you [the] groaning of [the] prisoner according to [the] greatness of arm your leave over [the] sons of death.

Let the groaning of the prisoner come in before Thee, According to the greatness of Thine arm, Leave Thou the sons of death.

12 And repay to neighbors our sevenfold into bosom their reproach their which they reproached you O Lord.

And turn Thou back to our neighbours, Sevenfold unto their bosom, their reproach, Wherewith they reproached Thee, O Lord.

13 And we people your - and [the] sheep of pasture your we will give thanks to you for ever to a generation and a generation we will recount praise your.

And we, Thy people, and the flock of Thy pasture, We give thanks to Thee to the age, To all generations we recount Thy praise!
