Psalm 79

Psalm 79:1-13

79
Chapter 79
A psalm. To Asaph. God, nations have come into your inheritance; they have defiled your holy temple, your sanctuary; they have laid Jerusalem in heaps. 1 They have given the corpses of your servants as food for the birds of the heavens, the flesh of your holy ones to the beasts of the earth. 2 They gave the carcasses of your servants as food for the birds of the heavens, the flesh of your faithful ones to the beasts of the earth. They poured out their blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there was no one to bury them. 3 They poured out their blood like water around Jerusalem, and there was no one to bury them. We are a reproach to our neighbors, scorn and derision to those around us. 4 We have become a reproach to our neighbors, derision and scorn to those around us. How long, LORD? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire? 5 Pour out your wrath on the nations that have not known you, and on the kingdoms that have not called on your name. 6 Pour out your wrath upon the nations that have not known you, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon your name. 7 For they have devoured Jacob, and they have desolated his dwelling. 8 Do not remember against us the iniquities of former things. Hurry; let your compassions hasten to us, for we are very poor. 9 Help us, our God. Save us for the sake of the glory of your name; deliver us and atone for our sins for the sake of your name. 10 Let the groaning of the prisoners come before you. As your arm is made great, the blood of your servants poured out, why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”—known among the nations before our eyes, vengeance for the blood of your servants shed. 11 May the groan of the prisoner come before you according to the greatness of your outstretched arm—those let loose, the sons of death. 12 We are your people and the flock of your pasture. We will give thanks to you forever; to generation and generation we will recount your praise.
