\d A psalm of Asaph.
|
|
\b
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 1 God, foreign nations have come into your inheritance;
|
|
\q they have defiled your holy temple;
|
|
\q they have turned Jerusalem into a heap of ruins.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 2 They have given the dead bodies of your servants as food to the birds of the skies,
|
|
\q the bodies of your faithful people to the beasts of the earth.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 3 They have shed their blood like water around Jerusalem,
|
|
\q and there was none to bury them.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 4 We have become a reproach for our neighbors,
|
|
\q mocking and derision to those who are around us.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 5 How long, Yahweh? Will you stay angry forever?
|
|
\q How long will your jealous anger burn like fire?
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 6 Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not know you
|
|
\q and on the kingdoms that do not call upon your name.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 7 For they have devoured Jacob
|
|
\q and destroyed his villages.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 8 Do not hold the sins of our forefathers against us;
|
|
\q may your merciful actions come to us,
|
|
\q for we are very low.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 9 Help us, God of our salvation, for the sake of the glory of your name;
|
|
\q save us and forgive our sins for your name's sake.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 10 Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?"
|
|
\q May the blood of your servants that was shed
|
|
\q be avenged on the nations before our eyes.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 11 May the groans of the prisoners come before you;
|
|
\q with the greatness of your power keep the children of death alive.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 12 Pay back into the laps of our neighboring countries seven times as much
|
|
\q as the insults with which they have insulted you, Lord.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 13 So we your people and sheep of your pasture
|
|
\q will give you thanks forever.
|
|
\q We will tell your praises to all generations.
