O God, the anations
have 1invaded
bYour inheritance
; They have defiled
Your choly
temple
; They have dlaid
Jerusalem
in ruins
.
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
.
They have poured out their blood
like water
round
about
Jerusalem
; And there
was ano
one
to bury
them.
We have become
a areproach
to our neighbors
, A scoffing
and derision
to those around
us.
aHow long
, O LORD
? Will You be angry
forever
? Will Your bjealousy
cburn
like
fire
?
aPour out Your wrath
upon the nations
which
bdo not know
You, And upon the kingdoms
which
cdo not call
upon Your name
.
For they have adevoured Jacob
And blaid
waste
his 1habitation
.
aDo not remember 1the iniquities
of our forefathers
against us; Let Your compassion
come
quickly
to bmeet
us, For we are cbrought
very
low
.
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
.
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
.
Let athe groaning of the prisoner
come
before
You; According to the greatness
of Your 1power
preserve
2those
who
are adoomed
to die
.
And return to our neighbors
asevenfold
binto their bosom
1The creproach
with which
they have reproached
You, O Lord
.
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
.
