Psalms 79
1 O God, the nations have come into thine inheritance. They have defiled thy holy temple. They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.
| מִזְמוֹר לְאָסָף אֱֽלֹהִים בָּאוּ גוֹיִם ׀ בְּֽנַחֲלָתֶךָ טִמְּאוּ אֶת־הֵיכַל קׇדְשֶׁךָ שָׂמוּ אֶת־יְרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם לְעִיִּֽים׃ |
2 They have given the dead bodies of thy servants to be food to the birds of the heavens, the flesh of thy sanctified to the beasts of the earth.
| נָתְנוּ אֶת־נִבְלַת עֲבָדֶיךָ מַאֲכָל לְעוֹף הַשָּׁמָיִם בְּשַׂר חֲסִידֶיךָ לְחַיְתוֹ־אָֽרֶץ׃ |
3 They have shed their blood like water round about Jerusalem, and there was none to bury them.
| שָׁפְכוּ דָמָם ׀ כַּמַּיִם סְֽבִיבוֹת יְֽרוּשָׁלָ͏ִם וְאֵין קוֹבֵֽר׃ |
4 We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and derision to those who are round about us.
| הָיִינוּ חֶרְפָּה לִשְׁכֵנֵינוּ לַעַג וָקֶלֶס לִסְבִיבוֹתֵֽינוּ׃ |
5 How long, O Jehovah? Will thou be angry forever? Shall thy jealousy burn like fire?
| עַד־מָה יְהֹוָה תֶּאֱנַף לָנֶצַח תִּבְעַר כְּמוֹ־אֵשׁ קִנְאָתֶֽךָ׃ |
6 Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that do not know thee, and upon the kingdoms that do not call upon thy name.
| שְׁפֹךְ חֲמָתְךָ אֶֽל־הַגּוֹיִם אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יְדָעוּךָ וְעַל מַמְלָכוֹת אֲשֶׁר בְּשִׁמְךָ לֹא קָרָֽאוּ׃ |
7 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his habitation.
| כִּי אָכַל אֶֽת־יַעֲקֹב וְֽאֶת־נָוֵהוּ הֵשַֽׁמּוּ׃ |
8 Do not remember against us the iniquities of our forefathers. Let thy tender mercies speedily meet us, for we are brought very low.
| אַֽל־תִּזְכׇּר־לָנוּ עֲוֺנֹת רִאשֹׁנִים מַהֵר יְקַדְּמוּנוּ רַחֲמֶיךָ כִּי דַלּוֹנוּ מְאֹֽד׃ |
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.
| עׇזְרֵנוּ ׀ אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׁעֵנוּ עַֽל־דְּבַר כְּבֽוֹד־שְׁמֶךָ וְהַצִּילֵנוּ וְכַפֵּר עַל־חַטֹּאתֵינוּ לְמַעַן שְׁמֶֽךָ׃ |
10 Why 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.
| לָמָּה ׀ יֹאמְרוּ הַגּוֹיִם אַיֵּה אֱֽלֹהֵיהֶם יִוָּדַע (בגיים) [בַּגּוֹיִם] לְעֵינֵינוּ נִקְמַת דַּֽם־עֲבָדֶיךָ הַשָּׁפֽוּךְ׃ |
11 Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee. According to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those who are appointed to death,
| תָּבוֹא לְפָנֶיךָ אֶנְקַת אָסִיר כְּגֹדֶל זְרוֹעֲךָ הוֹתֵר בְּנֵי תְמוּתָֽה׃ |
12 and render to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom their reproach with which they have reproached thee, O Lord,
| וְהָשֵׁב לִשְׁכֵנֵינוּ שִׁבְעָתַיִם אֶל־חֵיקָם חֶרְפָּתָם אֲשֶׁר חֵרְפוּךָ אֲדֹנָֽי׃ |
13 so we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks forever. We will show forth thy praise to all generations.
| וַאֲנַחְנוּ עַמְּךָ ׀ וְצֹאן מַרְעִיתֶךָ נוֹדֶה לְּךָ לְעוֹלָם לְדוֹר וָדֹר נְסַפֵּר תְּהִלָּתֶֽךָ׃ |
