Book 27 : KETUVIM - PSALMS - Chapter 079
79:001
A Psalm of Asaph. O G-d, the heathen are come into Thine
inheritance; they have defiled Thy holy temple; they have made Jerusalem into
heaps
79:002
They have given the dead bodies of Thy servants to be food
unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of Thy saints unto the beasts of the
earth
79:003
They have shed their blood like water round about
Jerusalem, with none to bury them
79:004
We are become a taunt to our neighbours, a scorn and
derision to them that are round about us
79:005
How long, O HaShem, wilt Thou be angry for ever? How long
will Thy jealousy burn like fire
79:006
Pour out Thy wrath upon the nations that know Thee not, and
upon the kingdoms that call not upon Thy name
79:007
For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his
habitation
79:008
Remember not against us the iniquities of our forefathers;
let Thy compassions speedily come to meet us; for we are brought very low
79:009
Help us, O G-d of our salvation, for the sake of the glory
of Thy name; and deliver us, and forgive our sins, for Thy name's sake
79:010
Wherefore should the nations say: 'Where is their G-d?'
Let the avenging of Thy servants' blood that is shed be made known among the
nations in our sight
79:011
Let the groaning of the prisoner come before Thee;
according to the greatness of Thy power set free those that are appointed to
death
79:012
And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom
their reproach, wherewith they have reproached Thee, O L-rd
79:013
So we that are Thy people and the flock of Thy pasture
will give Thee thanks for ever; we will tell of Thy praise to all generations
