- 1. {A Psalm of Asaph.}<br>
O God, the nations are come into thine inheritance: thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem in heaps. - 2. The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowl of the heavens, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth:
- 3. Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem, and there was none to bury [them].
- 4. We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a mockery and a derision to them that are round about us.
- 5. How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou be angry for ever? Shall thy jealousy burn like fire?
- 6. Pour out thy fury upon the nations that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that call not upon thy name:
- 7. For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his habitation.
- 8. Remember not against us the iniquities of [our] forefathers; let thy tender mercies speedily come to meet us: for we are brought very low.
- 9. Help us, O God of our salvation, because of the glory of thy name; and deliver us, and forgive our sins, for thy name's sake.
- 10. Wherefore should the nations say, Where is their God? Let the avenging of the blood of thy servants that is shed be known among the nations in our sight.
- 11. Let the groaning of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thine arm, preserve those that are appointed to die;
- 12. And render unto our neighbours, sevenfold into their bosom, their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.
- 13. And we, thy people and the sheep of thy pasture, will give thanks unto thee for ever; we will shew forth thy praise from generation to generation.
