诗篇79篇中

¹O God, pagan nations have conquered your land, your special possession.They have defiled your holy Templeand made Jerusalem a heap of ruins.
²They have left the bodies of your servantsas food for the birds of heaven.The flesh of your godly oneshas become food for the wild animals.
³Blood has flowed like water all around Jerusalem;no one is left to bury the dead.
⁴We are mocked by our neighbors, an object of scorn and derision to those around us.
⁵O Lord, how long will you be angry with us? Forever?How long will your jealousy burn like fire?
⁶Pour out your wrath on the nations that refuse to acknowledge you - on kingdoms that do not call upon your name.
⁷For they have devoured your people Israel, #79:7 Hebrew devoured Jacob. See note on 44:4.making the land a desolate wilderness.
⁸Do not hold us guilty for the sins of our ancestors!Let your compassion quickly meet our needs, for we are on the brink of despair.
⁹Help us, O God of our salvation!Help us for the glory of your name.Save us and forgive our sinsfor the honor of your name.
¹⁰Why should pagan nations be allowed to scoff, asking, “Where is their God?”Show us your vengeance against the nations, for they have spilled the blood of your servants.
¹¹Listen to the moaning of the prisoners.Demonstrate your great power by saving those condemned to die.
¹²O Lord, pay back our neighbors seven timesfor the scorn they have hurled at you.
¹³Then we your people, the sheep of your pasture, will thank you forever and ever, praising your greatness from generation to generation.
