|

|
|
1. O God, the nations have come into your inheritance; they have defiled your holy temple; they have laid Jerusalem in ruins.
|
|||
|
|
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
|
|||
|
|
2. They have given the bodies of your servants to the birds of the heavens for food, the flesh of your faithful to the beasts of the earth.
|
|||
|
|
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
|
|||
|
|
3. They have poured out their blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there was no one to bury them.
|
|||
|
|
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
|
|||
|
|
4. We have become a taunt to our neighbors, mocked and derided by those around us.
|
|||
|
|
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
|
|||
|
|
5. How long, O LORD? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire?
|
|||
|
|
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
|
|||
|
|
6. Pour out your anger on the nations that do not know you, and on the kingdoms that do not call upon your name!
|
|||
|
|
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
|
|||
|
|
7. For they have devoured Jacob and laid waste his habitation.
|
|||
|
|
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
|
|||
|
|
8. Do not remember against us our former iniquities; let your compassion come speedily to meet us, for we are brought very low.
|
|||
|
|
<a id="9" name="9"></a>
|
|||
|
|
9. Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of your name; deliver us, and atone for our sins, for your name’s sake!
|
|||
|
|
<a id="10" name="10"></a>
|
|||
|
|
10. Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” Let the avenging of the outpoured blood of your servants be known among the nations before our eyes!
|
|||
|
|
<a id="11" name="11"></a>
|
|||
|
|
11. Let the groans of the prisoners come before you; according to your great power, preserve those doomed to die!
|
|||
|
|
<a id="12" name="12"></a>
|
|||
|
|
12. Return sevenfold into the lap of our neighbors the taunts with which they have taunted you, O Lord!
|
|||
|
|
<a id="13" name="13"></a>
|
|||
|
|
13. But we your people, the sheep of your pasture, will give thanks to you forever; from generation to generation we will recount your praise.
