A Psalm - of Asaph. The nations , O God , have invaded Your inheritance ; they have defiled - Your holy temple (and) reduced - Jerusalem to rubble.
| LXX |
They have given - the corpses of Your servants as food to the birds of the air , the flesh of Your saints to the beasts of the earth.
| LXX |
They have poured out their blood like water all around Jerusalem , and (there is) no one to bury (the dead).
| LXX |
We have become a reproach to our neighbors , a scorn and derision to those around us.
| LXX |
How long ... , O LORD ? Will You be angry forever ? Will Your jealousy burn like fire ?
| LXX |
Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge You , on the kingdoms that refuse to call on Your name ,
| LXX |
for they have devoured - Jacob - and devastated his homeland.
| LXX |
Do not hold ... past sins let Your compassion come quickly , for we are brought low.
| LXX |
Help us , O God of our salvation , for ... the glory of Your name ; deliver us and atone for our sins , for the sake of Your name.
| LXX |
Why should the nations ask , “ Where is their God ? ” Before our eyes , make known among the nations Your vengeance for the bloodshed ... of Your servants.
| LXX |
May the groans of the captives reach You ... ; by the strength of Your arm preserve those condemned to death.
| LXX |
Pay back into the laps of our neighbors sevenfold the reproach - they hurled at You , O Lord.
| LXX |
Then we Your people , the sheep of Your pasture , will thank forever ; from generation to generation we will declare Your praise.
