1A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the heathen are come into Thine inheritance; they have defiled Thy holy temple; they have made Jerusalem into heaps.
2They have given the dead bodies of Thy servants to be food unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of Thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.
3They have shed their blood like water round about Jerusalem, with none to bury them.
4We are become a taunt to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
