Psalms 79

1 A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the Gentiles have entered into your inheritance; they have polluted your holy temple. They have set Jerusalem as a place to tend fruit trees.

O! Dios, vinieron las gentes a tu heredad: contaminaron el templo de tu santidad; pusieron a Jerusalem en montones:

2 They have placed the dead bodies of your servants as food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your saints for the beasts of the earth.

Dieron los cuerpos de tus siervos por comida a las aves de los cielos: la carne de tus piadosos a las bestias de la tierra.

3 They have poured out their blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there was no one who would bury them.

Derramaron su sangre, como agua, en los al rededores de Jerusalem: y no hubo quien los enterrase.

4 We have become a disgrace to our neighbors, an object of ridicule and mockery to those who are around us.

Somos afrentados de nuestros vecinos: escarnecidos y burlados de los que están en nuestros al rededores.

5 How long, O Lord? Will you be angry until the end? Will your zeal be kindled like a fire?

¿Hasta cuándo, o! Jehová? ¿Airarte has para siempre? ¿Arderá, como fuego, tu zelo?

6 Pour out your wrath among the Gentiles, who have not known you, and upon the kingdoms that have not invoked your name.

Derrama tu ira sobre las naciones que no te conocen: y sobre los reinos que no invocan tu nombre.

7 For they have devoured Jacob, and they have desolated his place.

Porque han consumido a Jacob: y su morada han asolado.

8 Do not remember our iniquities of the past. May your mercies quickly intercept us, for we have become exceedingly poor.

No nos traigas en memoria las iniquidades antiguas: anticípennos presto tus misericordias, porque estamos muy consumidos.

9 Help us, O God, our Savior. And free us, Lord, for the glory of your name. And forgive us our sins for the sake of your name.

Ayúdanos, o! Dios, salud nuestra, por la honra de tu nombre: y líbranos, y aplácate sobre nuestros pecados por causa de tu nombre.

10 Let them not say among the Gentiles, “Where is their God?” And may your name become known among the nations before our eyes. For the retribution of your servants’ blood, which has been poured out:

Porque dirán las gentes: ¿Dónde está su Dios? Sea notoria en las naciones delante de nuestros ojos la venganza de la sangre de tus siervos que se ha derramado.

11 may the groans of the shackled enter before you. According to the greatness of your arm, take possession of the sons of those who have been killed.

Entre delante de ti el gemido de los presos: conforme a la grandeza de tu brazo preserva a los sentenciados a muerte.

12 And repay our neighbors sevenfold within their sinews. It is the reproach of the same ones who brought reproach against you, O Lord.

Y torna a nuestros vecinos en su seno siete tantos de su deshonra con que te han deshonrado, o! Jehová.

13 But we are your people and the sheep of your pasture: we will give thanks to you in all ages. From generation to generation, we will announce your praise.

Y nosotros, pueblo tuyo, y ovejas de tu pasto, te alabaremos para siempre: por generación y generación contaremos tus alabanzas.
