Psalm 79:1-9 (Revised Standard Version)
1
A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the heathen have come into thy inheritance; they have defiled thy holy temple; they have laid Jerusalem in ruins.
2
They have given the bodies of thy servants to the birds of the air for food, the flesh of thy saints to the beasts of the earth.
3
They have poured out their blood like water round about Jerusalem, and there was none to bury them.
4
We have become a taunt to our neighbors, mocked and derided by those round about us.
5
How long, O LORD? Wilt thou be angry for ever? Will thy jealous wrath burn like fire?
6
Pour out thy anger on the nations that do not know thee, and on the kingdoms that do not call on thy name!
7
For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his habitation.
8
Do not remember against us the iniquities of our forefathers; let thy compassion come speedily to meet us, for we are brought very low.
9
Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name; deliver us, and forgive our sins, for thy name's sake!
