A Psalm of Asaph.
1
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
food unto the birds 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 neighbors,
A scoffing and 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 wrath upon the
nations that know thee not,
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 meet us;
For we are brought very low.
9
Help us, O God of our
salvation, for 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 which is shed
Be known among the nations in our sight.
11
Let the sighing of the
prisoner come before thee:
According to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that
are appointed to death;
12
And render unto our neighbors
sevenfold into their bosom
Their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.
13
So we thy people and sheep of
thy pasture
Will give thee thanks for ever:
We will show forth thy praise to all generations.
