Psalms 79

1 A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the heathen have come into thy inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.

亚萨的诗。 神啊，外邦人进入你的产业， 污秽你的圣殿，使耶路撒冷变成荒堆，

2 The dead bodies of thy servants have they given [to be] food to the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints, to the beasts of the earth.

把你仆人的尸首交与天空的飞鸟为食， 把你圣民的肉交与地上的野兽，

3 Their blood have they shed like water around Jerusalem; and [there was] none to bury [them].

在耶路撒冷周围流他们的血如水， 无人葬埋。

4 We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to them that are around us.

我们成为邻国的羞辱， 成为我们四围人的嗤笑讥刺。

5 How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?

耶和华啊，这到几时呢？ 你要动怒到永远吗？ 你的愤恨要如火焚烧吗？

6 Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.

愿你将你的忿怒倒在那不认识你的外邦 和那不求告你名的国度。

7 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling-place.

因为他们吞了雅各， 把他的住处变为荒场。

8 O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily succor us: for we are brought very low.

求你不要记念我们先祖的罪孽，向我们追讨； 愿你的慈悲快迎着我们， 因为我们落到极卑微的地步。

9 Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake.

拯救我们的 神啊，求你因你名的荣耀帮助我们！ 为你名的缘故搭救我们，赦免我们的罪。

10 Why should the heathen say, Where [is] their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight [by] avenging the blood of thy servants [which is] shed.

为何容外邦人说“他们的 神在哪里”呢？ 愿你使外邦人知道你在我们眼前 伸你仆人流血的冤。

11 Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die;

愿被囚之人的叹息达到你面前； 愿你按你的大能力存留那些将要死的人。

12 And render to our neighbors seven-fold into their bosom their reproach, with which they have reproached thee, O LORD.

主啊，愿你将我们邻邦所羞辱你的羞辱 加七倍归到他们身上。

13 So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will show forth thy praise to all generations.

这样，你的民，你草场的羊， 要称谢你，直到永远； 要述说赞美你的话，直到万代。
