ylt @Psalms:79:1 @A Psalm of Asaph . O God , nations have come into Thy inheritance , They have defiled Thy holy temple , They made Jerusalem become heaps , ylt @Psalms:79:2 @They gave the dead bodies of Thy servants Food for the fowls of the heavens , The flesh of Thy saints For the wild beast of the earth . ylt @Psalms:79:3 @They have shed their blood As water round about Jerusalem , And there is none burying . ylt @Psalms:79:4 @We have been a reproach to our neighbours , A scorn and a derision to our surrounders . ylt @Psalms:79:5 @Till when , O Jehovah ? art Thou angry for ever ? Thy jealousy doth burn as fire . ylt @Psalms:79:6 @Pour Thy fury on the nations who have not known Thee , And on kingdoms that have not called in Thy name . ylt @Psalms:79:7 @For [one ] hath devoured Jacob , And his habitation they have made desolate . ylt @Psalms:79:8 @Remember not for us the iniquities of forefathers , Haste , let Thy mercies go before us , For we have been very weak . ylt @Psalms:79:9 @Help us , O God of our salvation , Because of the honour of Thy name , And deliver us , and cover over our sins , For Thy name 's sake . ylt @Psalms:79:10 @Why do the nations say , 'Where [is ] their God ?' Let be known among the nations before our eyes , The vengeance of the blood of Thy servants that is shed . ylt @Psalms:79:11 @Let the groaning of the prisoner come in before Thee , According to the greatness of Thine arm , Leave Thou the sons of death . ylt @Psalms:79:12 @And turn Thou back to our neighbours , Sevenfold unto their bosom , their reproach , Wherewith they reproached Thee , O Lord . ylt @Psalms:79:13 @And we , Thy people , and the flock of Thy pasture , We give thanks to Thee to the age , To all generations we recount Thy praise !
