Chapter 79
| Psal | NETtext | 79:1 | A psalm of Asaph.O God, foreigners have invaded your chosen land; they have polluted your holy temple and turned Jerusalem into a heap of ruins. | |
| Psal | NETtext | 79:2 | They have given the corpses of your servants to the birds of the sky; the flesh of your loyal followers to the beasts of the earth. | |
| Psal | NETtext | 79:3 | They have made their blood flow like water all around Jerusalem, and there is no one to bury them. | |
| Psal | NETtext | 79:4 | We have become an object of disdain to our neighbors; those who live on our borders taunt and insult us. | |
| Psal | NETtext | 79:5 | How long will this go on, O LORD? Will you stay angry forever? How long will your rage burn like fire? | |
| Psal | NETtext | 79:6 | Pour out your anger on the nations that do not acknowledge you, on the kingdoms that do not pray to you! | |
| Psal | NETtext | 79:8 | Do not hold us accountable for the sins of earlier generations! Quickly send your compassion our way, for we are in serious trouble! | |
| Psal | NETtext | 79:9 | Help us, O God, our deliverer! For the sake of your glorious reputation, rescue us! Forgive our sins for the sake of your reputation! | |
| Psal | NETtext | 79:10 | Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?" Before our very eyes may the shed blood of your servants be avenged among the nations! | |
| Psal | NETtext | 79:11 | Listen to the painful cries of the prisoners! Use your great strength to set free those condemned to die! | |
| Psal | NETtext | 79:12 | Pay back our neighbors in full! May they be insulted the same way they insulted you, O Lord! | |
