Psalms 79
1 A Psalm of Asaph. O God, nations have come into Thy inheritance, They have defiled Thy 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 Thy servants Food for the fowls of the heavens, The flesh of Thy 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 round about 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 neighbours, A scorn and a derision to our surrounders.
facti sumus obprobrium vicinis nostris subsannatio et inlusio his qui circum nos sunt
5 Till when, O Jehovah? art Thou angry for ever? Thy jealousy doth burn as fire.
usquequo Domine irasceris in finem accendetur velut ignis zelus tuus
6 Pour Thy fury on the nations who have not known Thee, And on kingdoms that have not called in Thy name.
effunde iram tuam in gentes quae te non noverunt et in regna quae nomen tuum non invocaverunt
7 For [one] hath devoured Jacob, And his habitation they have made desolate.
quia comederunt Iacob et locum eius desolaverunt
8 Remember not for us the iniquities of forefathers, Haste, let Thy 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 honour of Thy name, And deliver us, and cover over our sins, For Thy 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 be known among the nations before our eyes, The vengeance of the blood of Thy 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 Thee, According to the greatness of Thine arm, Leave Thou the sons of death.
introeat in conspectu tuo gemitus conpeditorum secundum magnitudinem brachii tui posside filios mortificatorum
12 And turn Thou back to our neighbours, Sevenfold unto their bosom, their reproach, Wherewith they reproached Thee, O Lord.
et redde vicinis nostris septuplum in sinu eorum inproperium ipsorum quod exprobraverunt tibi Domine
13 And we, Thy people, and the flock of Thy pasture, We give thanks to Thee to the age, To all generations we recount Thy praise!
nos autem populus tuus et oves pascuae tuae confitebimur tibi in saeculum in generationem et generationem adnuntiabimus laudem tuam
