Psalm 79

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 A psalm of Asaf: God, the pagans have entered your heritage. They have defiled your holy temple and turned Yerushalayim into rubble.

2 They have given the corpses of your servants as food for the birds in the air, yes, the flesh of those faithful to you for the wild animals of the earth.

3 All around Yerushalayim they have shed their blood like water, and no one is left to bury them.

4 We suffer the taunts of our neighbors, we are mocked and scorned by those around us.

5 How long, ADONAI? Will you be angry forever? How long 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 out your name;

7 for they have devoured Ya'akov and left his home a waste.

8 Don't count past iniquities against us, but let your compassion come quickly to meet us, for we have been brought very low.

9 Help us, God of our salvation, for the sake of the glory of your name. Deliver us, forgive our sins, for your name's sake.

10 Why should the nations ask, "Where is their God?" Let the vengeance taken on your servants' shed blood be known among the nations before our eyes.

11 Let the groaning of the captives come before you; by your great strength save those condemned to death.

12 Repay our neighbors sevenfold where they can feel it for the insults they inflicted on you, Adonai.

13 Then we, your people and the flock in your pasture, will give you thanks forever. From generation to generation we will proclaim your praise.

New King James Version NKJV

1 A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the nations have come into Your inheritance; Your holy temple they have defiled; They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.

2 The dead bodies of Your servants They have given as food for the birds of the heavens, The flesh of Your saints to the beasts of the earth.

3 Their blood they have shed like water all around Jerusalem, And there was no one to bury them.

4 We have become a reproach to our neighbors, A scorn and derision to those who are around us.

5 How long, Lord? Will You be angry forever? Will Your jealousy burn like fire?

6 Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not know You, And on the kingdoms that do not call on Your name.

7 For they have devoured Jacob, And laid waste his dwelling place.

8 Oh, do not remember former iniquities against us! Let Your tender mercies come speedily to meet us, For we have been brought very low.

9 Help us, O God of our salvation, For the glory of Your name; And deliver us, and provide atonement for our sins, For Your name's sake!

10 Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?" Let there be known among the nations in our sight The avenging of the blood of Your servants which has been shed.

11 Let the groaning of the prisoner come before You; According to the greatness of Your power Preserve those who are appointed to die;

12 And return to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom Their reproach with which they have reproached You, O Lord.

13 So we, Your people and sheep of Your pasture, Will give You thanks forever; We will show forth Your praise to all generations.
