1 O God, the nations have come into Your inheritance; Your holy temple they have defiled; They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.
[gsn]
[jfb]
2 The dead bodies of Your servants They have given I as food for the birds of the heavens, The flesh of Your saints to the beasts of the earth.
[gsn]
[jfb]
3 Their blood they have shed like water all around Jerusalem, And I there was no one to bury I them.
[gsn]
4 We have become a reproach to our neighbors, A scorn and derision to those who are around us.
[gsn]
[jfb]
5 How long, LORD? Will You be angry forever? Will Your jealousy burn like fire?
[gsn]
[jfb]
6 Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not know You, And on the kingdoms that do not call on Your name.
[jfb]
7 For they have devoured Jacob, And laid waste his dwelling place. 8 Oh, do not remember former iniquities against us! Let Your tender mercies come speedily to meet us, For we have been brought very low.
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
9 Help us, O God of our salvation, For the glory of Your name; And deliver us, and provide atonement for our sins, For Your name's sake!
[gsn]
[jfb]
10 Why should the nations say, "Where I is their God?" Let there be known among the nations in our sight The avenging of the blood of Your servants I which has been shed.
[jfb]
11 Let the groaning of the prisoner come before You; According to the greatness of Your power Preserve those who are appointed to die;
[gsn]
[jfb]
[jwc]
12 And return to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom Their reproach with which they have reproached You, O Lord.
[jfb]
13 So we, Your people and sheep of Your pasture, Will give You thanks forever; We will show forth Your praise to all generations.
[gsn]
