- O God, the nations have come into your inheritance; they have defiled your holy temple; they have laid Jerusalem in ruins.
- 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.
- 3
- They have poured out their blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there was no one to bury them.
- 4
- We have become a taunt to our neighbors, mocked and derided by those around us.
- 5
- How long, O LORD? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire?
- 6
- Pour out your anger on the nations that do not know you, and on the kingdoms that do not call upon your name!
- 7
- For they have devoured Jacob and laid waste his habitation.
- 8
- Do not remember against us our former iniquities; let your compassion come speedily to meet us, for we are brought very low.
- 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!
- 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!
- 11
- Let the groans of the prisoners come before you; according to your great power, preserve those doomed to die!
- 12
- Return sevenfold into the lap of our neighbors the taunts with which they have taunted you, O Lord!
- 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.
