Psalms 79 Verses
1
|
[A psalm of Asaph.] O God, foreigners have invaded your chosen land; they have polluted your holy temple and turned Jerusalem into a heap of ruins. |
2
|
They have given the corpses of your servants to the birds of the sky; the flesh of your loyal followers to the beasts of the earth. |
3
|
They have made their blood flow like water all around Jerusalem, and there is no one to bury them. |
4
|
We have become an object of disdain to our neighbors; those who live on our borders taunt and insult us. |
5
|
How long will this go on, O LORD? Will you stay angry forever? How long will your rage burn like fire? |
6
|
Pour out your anger on the nations that do not acknowledge you, on the kingdoms that do not pray to you! |
7
|
For they have devoured Jacob and destroyed his home. |
8
|
Do not hold us accountable for the sins of earlier generations! Quickly send your compassion our way, for we are in serious trouble! |
9
|
Help us, O God, our deliverer! For the sake of your glorious reputation, rescue us! Forgive our sins for the sake of your reputation! |
10
|
Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?" Before our very eyes may the shed blood of your servants be avenged among the nations! |
11
|
Listen to the painful cries of the prisoners! Use your great strength to set free those condemned to die! |
12
|
Pay back our neighbors in full! May they be insulted the same way they insulted you, O Lord! |
13
|
Then we, your people, the sheep of your pasture, will continually thank you. We will tell coming generations of your praiseworthy acts. |
