Psalms 79
1 A Psalme committed to Asaph. O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance: thine holy Temple haue they defiled, and made Ierusalem heapes of stones.
psalmus Asaph Deus venerunt gentes in hereditatem tuam polluerunt templum sanctum tuum posuerunt Hierusalem in pomorum custodiam
2 The dead bodies of thy seruats haue they giuen to be meat vnto foules of ye heauen: and the flesh of thy Saintes vnto the beastes of the earth.
posuerunt morticina servorum tuorum escas volatilibus caeli carnes sanctorum tuorum bestiis terrae
3 Their blood haue they shead like waters rounde about Ierusalem, and there was none to burie them.
effuderunt sanguinem ipsorum tamquam aquam in circuitu Hierusalem et non erat qui sepeliret
4 Wee are a reproche to our neighbours, euen a scorne and derision vnto them that are round about vs.
facti sumus obprobrium vicinis nostris subsannatio et inlusio his qui circum nos sunt
5 Lord, howe long wilt thou be angrie, for euer? shall thy gelousie burne like fire?
usquequo Domine irasceris in finem accendetur velut ignis zelus tuus
6 Powre out thy wrath vpon the heathen that haue not knowen thee, and vpon the kingdomes that haue not called vpon thy Name.
effunde iram tuam in gentes quae te non noverunt et in regna quae nomen tuum non invocaverunt
7 For they haue deuoured Iaakob and made his dwelling place desolate.
quia comederunt Iacob et locum eius desolaverunt
8 Remember not against vs the former iniquities, but make haste and let thy tender mercies preuent vs: for we are in great miserie.
ne memineris iniquitatum nostrarum antiquarum cito anticipent nos misericordiae tuae quia pauperes facti sumus nimis
9 Helpe vs, O God of our saluation, for the glorie of thy Name, and deliuer vs, and be mercifull vnto our sinnes for thy Names sake.
adiuva nos Deus salutaris noster propter gloriam nominis tui Domine libera nos et propitius esto peccatis nostris propter nomen tuum
10 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be knowen among the heathen in our sight by the vengeance of the blood of thy seruants that is shed.
ne forte dicant in gentibus ubi est Deus eorum et innotescat in nationibus coram oculis nostris ultio sanguinis servorum tuorum qui effusus est
11 Let the sighing of the prisoners come before thee: according to thy mightie arme preserue the children of death,
introeat in conspectu tuo gemitus conpeditorum secundum magnitudinem brachii tui posside filios mortificatorum
12 And render to our neighbours seuen folde into their bosome their reproche, wherewith they haue reproched thee, O Lord.
et redde vicinis nostris septuplum in sinu eorum inproperium ipsorum quod exprobraverunt tibi Domine
13 So wee thy people, and sheepe of thy pasture shall praise thee for euer: and from generation to generation we will set foorth thy praise.
nos autem populus tuus et oves pascuae tuae confitebimur tibi in saeculum in generationem et generationem adnuntiabimus laudem tuam
