Psalms 79:1-6

¹The psalm of Asaph. God, heathen men came into thine heritage; they defouled thine holy temple, they setted or put Jerusalem into the keeping of apples.

²They setted or put the slain bodies of thy servants to be meats to the volatiles of heavens; the fleshes of thy saints to the beasts of the earth.

³They shedded out the blood of them, as water in the compass of Jerusalem; and none there was that buried them.

⁴We be made a shame to our neighbours; mocking and scorning to them, that be in our compass.

⁵Lord, how long shalt thou be wroth into the end? shall thy vengeance be kindled as fire?

⁶Pour out thine ire into heathen men, that know not thee; and into realms, that called not thy name.
