Psalms 78:1-4

¹A Psalm for Asaph. O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; They have polluted thy holy temple; They have made Jerusalem a storehouse of fruits.

²They have given the dead bodies of thy servants To be food for the birds of the sky, The flesh of thy holy ones for the wild beasts of the earth.

³They have shed their blood as water, Round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.

⁴We are become a reproach to our neighbors, A scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
