Salmos 79
1 O! Dios, vinieron las gentes a tu heredad: contaminaron el templo de tu santidad; pusieron a Jerusalem en montones:
O God, the heathen are come into your inheritance; your holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.
2 Dieron los cuerpos de tus siervos por comida a las aves de los cielos: la carne de tus piadosos a las bestias de la tierra.
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 Derramaron su sangre, como agua, en los al rededores de Jerusalem: y no hubo quien los enterrase.
Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.
4 Somos afrentados de nuestros vecinos: escarnecidos y burlados de los que están en nuestros al rededores.
We are become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
5 ¿Hasta cuándo, o! Jehová? ¿Airarte has para siempre? ¿Arderá, como fuego, tu zelo?
How long, LORD? will you be angry for ever? shall your jealousy burn like fire?
6 Derrama tu ira sobre las naciones que no te conocen: y sobre los reinos que no invocan tu nombre.
Pour out your wrath on the heathen that have not known you, and on the kingdoms that have not called on your name.
7 Porque han consumido a Jacob: y su morada han asolado.
For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.
8 No nos traigas en memoria las iniquidades antiguas: anticípennos presto tus misericordias, porque estamos muy consumidos.
O remember not against us former iniquities: let your tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.
9 Ayúdanos, o! Dios, salud nuestra, por la honra de tu nombre: y líbranos, y aplácate sobre nuestros pecados por causa de tu nombre.
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 Porque dirán las gentes: ¿Dónde está su Dios? Sea notoria en las naciones delante de nuestros ojos la venganza de la sangre de tus siervos que se ha derramado.
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 Entre delante de ti el gemido de los presos: conforme a la grandeza de tu brazo preserva a los sentenciados a muerte.
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 Y torna a nuestros vecinos en su seno siete tantos de su deshonra con que te han deshonrado, o! Jehová.
And render to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, with which they have reproached you, O Lord.
13 Y nosotros, pueblo tuyo, y ovejas de tu pasto, te alabaremos para siempre: por generación y generación contaremos tus alabanzas.
So we your people and sheep of your pasture will give you thanks for ever: we will show forth your praise to all generations.
