Psalms 79

Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE

1 (78-1) <A psalm for Asaph.> O God, the heathens are come into thy inheritance, they have defiled thy holy temple: they have made Jerusalem as a place to keep fruit.

2 (78-2) They have given the dead bodies of thy servants to be meat for the fowls of the air: the flesh of thy saints for the beasts of the earth.

3 (78-3) They have poured out their blood as water, round about Jerusalem and there was none to bury them.

4 (78-4) We are become a reproach to our neighbours: a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.

5 (78-5) How long, O Lord, wilt thou be angry for ever: shall thy zeal be kindled like a fire?

6 (78-6) Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that have not known thee: and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.

7 (78-7) Because they have devoured Jacob; and have laid waste his place.

8 (78-8) Remember not our former iniquities: let thy mercies speedily prevent us, for we are become exceeding poor.

9 (78-9) Help us, O God, our saviour: and for the glory of thy name, O Lord, deliver us: and forgive us our sins for thy name’s sake:

10 (78-10) Lest they should say among the Gentiles: Where is their God? And let him be made known among the nations before our eyes, By the revenging the blood of thy servants, which hath been shed:

11 (78-11) Let the sighing of the prisoners come in before thee. According to the greatness of thy arm, take possession of the children of them that have been put to death.

12 (78-12) And render to our neighbours sevenfold in their bosom: the reproach wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.

13 (78-13) But we thy people, and the sheep of thy pasture, will give thanks to thee for ever. We will shew forth thy praise, unto generation and generation.

New International Version NIV

1 O God, the nations have invaded your inheritance; they have defiled your holy temple, they have reduced Jerusalem to rubble.

2 They have left the dead bodies of your servants as food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your own people for the animals of the wild.

3 They have poured out blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there is no one to bury the dead.

4 We are objects of contempt to our neighbors, of scorn and derision to those around us.

5 How long, LORD? Will you be angry forever? How long will your jealousy burn like fire?

6 Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge you, on the kingdoms that do not call on your name;

7 for they have devoured Jacob and devastated his homeland.

8 Do not hold against us the sins of past generations; may your mercy come quickly to meet us, for we are in desperate need.

9 Help us, God our Savior, 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?” Before our eyes, make known among the nations that you avenge the outpoured blood of your servants.

11 May the groans of the prisoners come before you; with your strong arm preserve those condemned to die.

12 Pay back into the laps of our neighbors seven times the contempt they have hurled at you, Lord.

13 Then we your people, the sheep of your pasture, will praise you forever; from generation to generation we will proclaim your praise.
