79:1
O God, the heathen have invaded your land. They have desecrated your holy
Temple and left Jerusalem in ruins. |
79:2
They left the bodies of your people for the vultures, the bodies of your
servants for wild animals to eat. |
79:3
They shed your people's blood like water; blood flowed like water all through
Jerusalem, and no one was left to bury the dead. |
79:4
The surrounding nations insult us; they laugh at us and mock us. |
79:5
LORD, will you be angry with us forever? Will your anger continue to burn
like fire? |
79:6
Turn your anger on the nations that do not worship you, on the people who do
not pray to you. |
79:7
For they have killed your people; they have ruined your country. |
79:8
Do not punish us for the sins of our ancestors. Have mercy on us now; we have
lost all hope. |
79:9
Help us, O God, and save us; rescue us and forgive our sins for the sake of
your own honor. |
79:10
Why should the nations ask us, "Where is your God?" Let us see you
punish the nations for shedding the blood of your servants. |
79:11
Listen to the groans of the prisoners, and by your great power free those who
are condemned to die. |
79:12
Lord, pay the other nations back seven times for all the insults they have
hurled at you. |
79:13
Then we, your people, the sheep of your flock, will thank you forever and
praise you for all time to come. |
