One of Asaph's songs of praise. God, some people from other nations came to fight your people. They ruined your holy Temple. They left Jerusalem in ruins. |
2
|
They left the bodies of your servants for the wild birds to eat. They let wild animals eat the bodies of your followers. |
3
|
Blood flowed like water all over Jerusalem. No one is left to bury the bodies. |
4
|
The countries around us insult us. The people around us laugh at us and make fun of us. |
5
|
Lord, will you be angry with us forever? Will your strong feelings continue to burn like a fire? |
6
|
Turn your anger against the nations that do not know you, against the people who do not honor you as God. |
7
|
Those nations killed Jacob's family and destroyed their land. |
8
|
Please don't punish us for the sins of our ancestors. Hurry, show us your mercy! We need you so much! |
9
|
Our God and Savior, help us! That will bring glory to your name. Save us and forgive our sins for the good of your name. |
10
|
Don't give the other nations a reason to say, "Where is their God? Can't he help them?" Let us see you punish those people. Punish them for killing your servants. |
11
|
Listen to the sad cries of the prisoners! Use your great power to free those who are sentenced to die. |
12
|
Punish the nations around us! Pay them back seven times for what they did to us. Punish them for insulting you. |
13
|
We are your people, the sheep of your flock. We will praise you forever. We will praise you forever and ever! |
