PSALMS ยท Chapter 79
79:1 O god, the heathen are come into your inheritance; your holy temple
have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.
79:2 The dead bodies of your servants have they given to be food unto
the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of your saints unto the beasts of the
earth.
79:3 Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and
there was none to bury them.
79:4 We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision
to them that are round about us.
79:5 How long, LORD? will you be angry for ever? shall your jealousy
burn like fire?
79:6 Pour out your wrath upon the heathen that have not known you,
and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon your name.
79:7 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.
79:8 O remember not against us former iniquities: let your tender mercies
speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.
79:9 Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of your name: and
deliver us, and purge away our sins, for your name's sake.
79:10 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him
be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of
your servants which is shed.
79:11 Let the sighing of the prisoner come before you; according to
the greatness of your power preserve you those that are appointed to die;
79:12 And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their
reproach, wherewith they have reproached you, O Lord.
79:13 So we your people and sheep of your pasture will give you thanks
for ever: we will show forth your praise to all generations.
