A Psalm[H4210] of Asaph[H623]. O God[H430], the heathen[H1471] are come[H935] into thine inheritance[H5159]; thy holy[H6944] temple[H1964] have they defiled[H2930]; they have laid[H7760] Jerusalem[H3389] on heaps[H5856].
2
The dead bodies[H5038] of thy servants[H5650] have they given[H5414] to be meat[H3978] unto the fowls[H5775] of the heaven[H8064], the flesh[H1320] of thy saints[H2623] unto the beasts[H2416] of the earth[H776].
3
Their blood[H1818] have they shed[H8210] like water[H4325] round about[H5439] Jerusalem[H3389]; and there was none to bury[H6912] them.
4
We are become a reproach[H2781] to our neighbours[H7934], a scorn[H3933] and derision[H7047] to them that are round about[H5439] us.
5
How long, LORD?[H3068] wilt thou be angry[H599] for ever?[H5331] shall thy jealousy[H7068] burn[H1197] like fire?[H784]
6
Pour out[H8210] thy wrath[H2534] upon the heathen[H1471] that have not known[H3045] thee, and upon the kingdoms[H4467] that have not called[H7121] upon thy name[H8034].
7
For they have devoured[H398] Jacob[H3290], and laid waste[H8074] his dwelling place[H5116].
8
O remember[H2142] not against us former[H7223] iniquities[H5771]: let thy tender mercies[H7356] speedily[H4118] prevent[H6923] us: for we are brought[H1809] very[H3966] low[H1809].
9
Help[H5826] us, O God[H430] of our salvation[H3468], for[H1697] the glory[H3519] of thy name[H8034]: and deliver[H5337] us, and purge away[H3722] our sins[H2403], for[H1697] thy name[H8034]'s sake.
10
Wherefore should the heathen[H1471] say[H559], Where is their God?[H430] let him be known[H3045] among the heathen[H1471] in our sight[H5869] by the revenging[H5360] of the blood[H1818] of thy servants[H5650] which is shed[H8210].
11
Let the sighing[H603] of the prisoner[H615] come[H935] before[H6440] thee; according to the greatness[H1433] of thy power[H2220] preserve[H3498] thou those that are appointed[H1121] to die[H8546];
12
And render[H7725] unto our neighbours[H7934] sevenfold[H7659] into their bosom[H2436] their reproach[H2781], wherewith they have reproached[H2778] thee, O Lord[H136].
13
So we thy people[H5971] and sheep[H6629] of thy pasture[H4830] will give thee thanks[H3034] for ever[H5769]: we will shew forth[H5608] thy praise[H8416] to all[H1755] generations[H1755].
