NASB Bible

Psalms 79

A Psalm of Asaph.

1

O God, the  anations have  1invaded  bYour inheritance; They have defiled Your  choly temple; They have  dlaid Jerusalem in ruins.

2

They have given the  adead bodies of Your servants for food to the birds of the heavens, The flesh of Your godly ones to the beasts of the earth.

3

They have poured out their blood like water round about Jerusalem; And there was  ano one to bury them.

4

We have become a  areproach to our neighbors, A scoffing and derision to those around us.

5

 aHow long, O LORD? Will You be angry forever? Will Your  bjealousy  cburn like fire?

6

 aPour out Your wrath upon the nations which  bdo not know You, And upon the kingdoms which  cdo not call upon Your name.

7

For they have  adevoured Jacob And  blaid waste his  1habitation.

8

 aDo not remember  1the iniquities of our forefathers against us; Let Your compassion come quickly to  bmeet us, For we are  cbrought very low.

9

 aHelp us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of  bYour name; And deliver us and  1 cforgive our sins  dfor Your name's sake.

10

 aWhy should the nations say, "Where is their God?" Let there be known among the nations in our sight,  bVengeance for the blood of Your servants which has been shed.

11

Let  athe groaning of the prisoner come before You; According to the greatness of Your  1power preserve  2those who are  adoomed to die.

12

And return to our neighbors  asevenfold  binto their bosom  1The  creproach with which they have reproached You, O Lord.

13

So we Your people and the  asheep of Your  1pasture Will  bgive thanks to You forever; To all generations we will  ctell of Your praise.
