Psalms 79
1 A psalm of Asaph O God they have come [the] nations - in inheritance your they have made unclean [the] temple of holiness your they have made Jerusalem into heaps of ruins.
O God, the nations have come into thine inheritance. They have defiled thy holy temple. They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.
2 They have given [the] corpse[s] of servants your food to [the] bird[s] of the heavens [the] flesh faithful [people] your to [the] animal[s] of [the] earth.
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.
3 They have poured out blood their - like water round about Jerusalem and there not [was one who] buried [them].
They have shed their blood like water round about Jerusalem, and there was none to bury them.
4 We have become a reproach to neighbors our mockery and derision to [those] around us.
We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and derision to those who are round about us.
5 Until when? O Yahweh will you be angry? to perpetuity will it burn? like fire jealousy your.
How long, O Jehovah? Will thou be angry forever? Shall thy jealousy burn like fire?
6 Pour out anger your against the nations which not they know you and on kingdoms which on name your not they call.
Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that do not know thee, and upon the kingdoms that do not call upon thy name.
7 For it has consumed Jacob and habitation its they have devastated.
For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his habitation.
8 May not you remember to us iniquities former [surely] quickly may they come to meet us compassion your for we have become low exceedingly.
Do not remember against us the iniquities of our forefathers. Let thy tender mercies speedily meet us, for we are brought very low.
9 Help us - O God of salvation our on [the] matter of [the] glory of name your and deliver us and atone on sins our for [the] sake of name your.
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.
10 Why? - will they say the nations where? [is] God their let it be known (among the nations *Q(k)*) to eyes our [the] vengeance of [the] blood of servants your poured out.
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.
11 May it come before you [the] groaning of [the] prisoner according to [the] greatness of arm your leave over [the] sons of death.
Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee. According to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those who are appointed to death,
12 And repay to neighbors our sevenfold into bosom their reproach their which they reproached you O Lord.
and render to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom their reproach with which they have reproached thee, O Lord,
13 And we people your - and [the] sheep of pasture your we will give thanks to you for ever to a generation and a generation we will recount praise your.
so we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks forever. We will show forth thy praise to all generations.
