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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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