תהילים 79

1 מִזְמוֹר לְאָסָף אֱֽלֹהִים בָּאוּ גוֹיִם ׀ בְּֽנַחֲלָתֶךָ טִמְּאוּ אֶת־הֵיכַל קׇדְשֶׁךָ שָׂמוּ אֶת־יְרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם לְעִיִּֽים׃

O God, the heathen are come into your inheritance; your holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.

2 נָתְנוּ אֶת־נִבְלַת עֲבָדֶיךָ מַאֲכָל לְעוֹף הַשָּׁמָיִם בְּשַׂר חֲסִידֶיךָ לְחַיְתוֹ־אָֽרֶץ׃

The dead bodies of your servants have they given to be meat to the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of your saints to the beasts of the earth.

3 שָׁפְכוּ דָמָם ׀ כַּמַּיִם סְֽבִיבוֹת יְֽרוּשָׁלָ͏ִם וְאֵין קוֹבֵֽר׃

Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.

4 הָיִינוּ חֶרְפָּה לִשְׁכֵנֵינוּ לַעַג וָקֶלֶס לִסְבִיבוֹתֵֽינוּ׃

We are become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.

5 עַד־מָה יְהֹוָה תֶּאֱנַף לָנֶצַח תִּבְעַר כְּמוֹ־אֵשׁ קִנְאָתֶֽךָ׃

How long, LORD? will you be angry for ever? shall your jealousy burn like fire?

6 שְׁפֹךְ חֲמָתְךָ אֶֽל־הַגּוֹיִם אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יְדָעוּךָ וְעַל מַמְלָכוֹת אֲשֶׁר בְּשִׁמְךָ לֹא קָרָֽאוּ׃

Pour out your wrath on the heathen that have not known you, and on the kingdoms that have not called on your name.

7 כִּי אָכַל אֶֽת־יַעֲקֹב וְֽאֶת־נָוֵהוּ הֵשַֽׁמּוּ׃

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

8 אַֽל־תִּזְכׇּר־לָנוּ עֲוֺנֹת רִאשֹׁנִים מַהֵר יְקַדְּמוּנוּ רַחֲמֶיךָ כִּי דַלּוֹנוּ מְאֹֽד׃

O remember not against us former iniquities: let your tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.

9 עׇזְרֵנוּ ׀ אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׁעֵנוּ עַֽל־דְּבַר כְּבֽוֹד־שְׁמֶךָ וְהַצִּילֵנוּ וְכַפֵּר עַל־חַטֹּאתֵינוּ לְמַעַן שְׁמֶֽךָ׃

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

10 לָמָּה ׀ יֹאמְרוּ הַגּוֹיִם אַיֵּה אֱֽלֹהֵיהֶם יִוָּדַע (בגיים) [בַּגּוֹיִם] לְעֵינֵינוּ נִקְמַת דַּֽם־עֲבָדֶיךָ הַשָּׁפֽוּךְ׃

Why should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of your servants which is shed.

11 תָּבוֹא לְפָנֶיךָ אֶנְקַת אָסִיר כְּגֹדֶל זְרוֹעֲךָ הוֹתֵר בְּנֵי תְמוּתָֽה׃

Let the sighing of the prisoner come before you; according to the greatness of your power preserve you those that are appointed to die;

12 וְהָשֵׁב לִשְׁכֵנֵינוּ שִׁבְעָתַיִם אֶל־חֵיקָם חֶרְפָּתָם אֲשֶׁר חֵרְפוּךָ אֲדֹנָֽי׃

And render to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, with which they have reproached you, O Lord.

13 וַאֲנַחְנוּ עַמְּךָ ׀ וְצֹאן מַרְעִיתֶךָ נוֹדֶה לְּךָ לְעוֹלָם לְדוֹר וָדֹר נְסַפֵּר תְּהִלָּתֶֽךָ׃

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