A Psalm
of Asaph. |
| |
|
|
|
|
 |
| Psalm 79:1 |
|
O God, the nations are come into thine inheritance;
Thy holy temple have they defiled; They have laid Jerusalem in heaps. |
|
|
|
|
| Psalm 79:2 |
|
The dead bodies of thy servants have they given
to be food unto the birds of the heavens, The flesh of thy saints unto the beasts
of the earth. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 79:3 |
|
Their blood have they shed like water round
about Jerusalem; And there was none to bury them. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 79:4 |
|
We are become a reproach to our neighbors, A
scoffing and derision to them that are round about us. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 79:5 |
|
How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou be angry for
ever? Shall thy jealousy burn like fire? |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 79:6 |
|
Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that know
thee not, And upon the kingdoms that call not upon thy name. |
| |
|
|
| Psalm 79:7 |
|
For they have devoured Jacob, And laid waste
his habitation. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 79:8 |
|
Remember not against us the iniquities of our
forefathers: Let thy tender mercies speedily meet us; For we are brought very
low. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 79:9 |
|
Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory
of thy name; And deliver us, and forgive our sins, for thy name's sake. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 79:10 |
|
Wherefore should the nations say, Where is their
God? Let the avenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed Be known among
the nations in our sight. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 79:11 |
|
Let the sighing of the prisoner come before
thee: According to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed
to death; |
|
|
|
| Psalm 79:12 |
|
And render unto our neighbors sevenfold into
their bosom Their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord. |
|
|
|
| Psalm 79:13 |
|
So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture Will
give thee thanks for ever: We will show forth thy praise to all generations. |
