Psa.|79:Title|-|A |a|Psalm of Asaph
Psa.|79:1|-|O God, the |a|nations have come into Your inheritance;They have defiled Your holy temple;
They have turned |b|Jerusalem into heaps.
Psa.|79:2|-|They have given the |a|dead bodies of Your servantsAs food for the birds of heaven,
The flesh of Your saints to the animals of the earth.
Psa.|79:3|-|They have poured out their blood like water around Jerusalem,And there was no one to bury them.
Psa.|79:4|-|We have become a reproach to our neighbors,A mocking and a derision to those around us.
Psa.|79:5|-|How long, O Jehovah? Will You be angry forever?Will Your |a|jealousy burn like fire?
Psa.|79:6|-||a|Pour out Your wrath upon the nationsWho do |b|not know You,
And upon the kingdomsWho do not call upon Your name.
Psa.|79:7|-|For they have devoured JacobAnd have desolated his habitation.
Psa.|79:8|-|Do not remember against us the iniquities of our forefathers;May Your compassions quickly meet us,
For we have been brought very low.
Psa.|79:9|-|Help us, O God of our salvation,For the glory of Your name;
And deliver us and expiate our sins,For Your name’s sake.
Psa.|79:10|-|Why should the nations say,Where is their God?
May the |a|avenging of the blood of Your servants, which has been poured out,Be known among the nations in our sight.
Psa.|79:11|-|May the sighing of the prisoner come before You.According to the greatness of Your power preserve those appointed to die,
Psa.|79:12|-|And render to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosomTheir reproach, with which they have reproached You, O Lord.
Psa.|79:13|-|And we, Your people and the |a|sheep of Your pasture,Will give You thanks forever;
From generation to generation we will tell out Your praise.
