Psalms 79:1-6

¹A psalm of Asaph. Heathen, O God, have come into your land, defiling your holy temple, and laying Jerusalem in ruins.

²They have given the bodies of your dead servants to the birds of the air to devour, and the flesh of your faithful to the beasts of the field.

³Round about Jerusalem they have poured out their blood like water; and there was no one to bury them.

⁴On every side our neighbors revile us and mock us and jeer at us.

⁵How long will you be angry, O Lord? Will your jealousy burn like fire forever?

⁶Pour out your wrath on the nations that don't know you, on the kingdoms that do not call on your name.
