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.
A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the Gentiles have entered into your inheritance; they have polluted your holy temple. They have set Jerusalem as a place to tend fruit trees.
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 placed the dead bodies of your servants as food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your saints for 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 poured out their blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there was no one who would bury them.
4 We have become a reproach to neighbors our mockery and derision to [those] around us.
We have become a disgrace to our neighbors, an object of ridicule and mockery to those who are around us.
5 Until when? O Yahweh will you be angry? to perpetuity will it burn? like fire jealousy your.
How long, O Lord? Will you be angry until the end? Will your zeal be kindled like a 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 your wrath among the Gentiles, who have not known you, and upon the kingdoms that have not invoked your name.
7 For it has consumed Jacob and habitation its they have devastated.
For they have devoured Jacob, and they have desolated his place.
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 our iniquities of the past. May your mercies quickly intercept us, for we have become exceedingly poor.
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, our Savior. And free us, Lord, for the glory of your name. And forgive us our sins for the sake of your name.
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.
Let them not say among the Gentiles, “Where is their God?” And may your name become known among the nations before our eyes. For the retribution of your servants’ blood, which has been poured out:
11 May it come before you [the] groaning of [the] prisoner according to [the] greatness of arm your leave over [the] sons of death.
may the groans of the shackled enter before you. According to the greatness of your arm, take possession of the sons of those who have been killed.
12 And repay to neighbors our sevenfold into bosom their reproach their which they reproached you O Lord.
And repay our neighbors sevenfold within their sinews. It is the reproach of the same ones who brought reproach against you, 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.
But we are your people and the sheep of your pasture: we will give thanks to you in all ages. From generation to generation, we will announce your praise.
