Psalms 79
1 A PSALM OF ASAPH. O God, nations have come into Your inheritance, They have defiled Your holy temple, They made Jerusalem become heaps,
psalmus Asaph Deus venerunt gentes in hereditatem tuam polluerunt templum sanctum tuum posuerunt Hierusalem in pomorum custodiam
2 They gave the dead bodies of Your servants [As] food for the birds of the heavens, The flesh of Your saints For the wild beast of the earth.
posuerunt morticina servorum tuorum escas volatilibus caeli carnes sanctorum tuorum bestiis terrae
3 They have shed their blood As water around Jerusalem, And there is none burying.
effuderunt sanguinem ipsorum tamquam aquam in circuitu Hierusalem et non erat qui sepeliret
4 We have been a reproach to our neighbors, A scorn and a derision to our surrounders.
facti sumus obprobrium vicinis nostris subsannatio et inlusio his qui circum nos sunt
5 Until when, O YHWH? Are You angry forever? Your jealousy burns as fire.
usquequo Domine irasceris in finem accendetur velut ignis zelus tuus
6 Pour Your fury on the nations who have not known You, And on kingdoms that have not called on Your Name.
effunde iram tuam in gentes quae te non noverunt et in regna quae nomen tuum non invocaverunt
7 For [one] has devoured Jacob, And they have made his habitation desolate.
quia comederunt Iacob et locum eius desolaverunt
8 Do not remember for us the iniquities of forefathers, Hurry, let Your mercies go before us, For we have been very weak.
ne memineris iniquitatum nostrarum antiquarum cito anticipent nos misericordiae tuae quia pauperes facti sumus nimis
9 Help us, O God of our salvation, Because of the glory of Your Name, And deliver us, and cover over our sins, For Your Name’s sake.
adiuva nos Deus salutaris noster propter gloriam nominis tui Domine libera nos et propitius esto peccatis nostris propter nomen tuum
10 Why do the nations say, “Where [is] their God?” Let [it] be known among the nations before our eyes, The vengeance of the blood of Your servants 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 groaning of the prisoner come in before You, According to the greatness of Your arm, Leave the sons of death.
introeat in conspectu tuo gemitus conpeditorum secundum magnitudinem brachii tui posside filios mortificatorum
12 And return to our neighbors, Sevenfold to their bosom, their reproach, With which they reproached You, O Lord.
et redde vicinis nostris septuplum in sinu eorum inproperium ipsorum quod exprobraverunt tibi Domine
13 And we, Your people, and the flock of Your pasture, We give thanks to You for all time, We recount Your praise from generation to generation!
nos autem populus tuus et oves pascuae tuae confitebimur tibi in saeculum in generationem et generationem adnuntiabimus laudem tuam
