A Psalm by Asaph. God, the nations have come into your inheritance. They have defiled your holy temple. They have laid Jerusalem in heaps. |
2
|
They have given the dead bodies of your servants to be food for the birds of the sky, The flesh of your saints to the animals of the earth. |
3
|
Their blood they have shed like water around Jerusalem. There was no one to bury them. |
4
|
We have become a reproach to our neighbors, A scoffing and derision to those who are around us. |
5
|
How long, Yahweh? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire? |
6
|
Pour out your wrath on the nations that don\'t know you; On the kingdoms that don\'t call on your name; |
7
|
For they have devoured Jacob, And destroyed his homeland. |
8
|
Don\'t hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us. Let your tender mercies speedily meet us, For we are in desperate need. |
9
|
Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of your name. Deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your name\'s sake. |
10
|
Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?" Let it be known among the nations, before our eyes, That vengeance for your servants\' blood is being poured out. |
11
|
Let the sighing of the prisoner come before you. According to the greatness of your power, preserve those who are sentenced to death; |
12
|
Pay back to our neighbors seven times into their bosom Their reproach with which they have reproached you, Lord. |
13
|
So we, your people and sheep of your pasture, Will give you thanks forever. We will praise you forever, to all generations. |
