Psalms 79:1 (NET) New English Translation

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.
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.
3 They have made their blood flow like water all around Jerusalem, and there is no one to bury them.
4 We have become an object of disdain to our neighbors; those who live on our borders taunt and insult us.
5 How long will this go on, O LORD? Will you stay angry forever? How long will your rage burn like fire?
6 Pour out your anger on the nations that do not acknowledge you, on the kingdoms that do not pray to you!
7 For they have devoured Jacob and destroyed his home.
8 Do not hold us accountable for the sins of earlier generations! Quickly send your compassion our way, for we are in serious trouble!
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!
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!
11 Listen to the painful cries of the prisoners! Use your great strength to set free those condemned to die!
12 Pay back our neighbors in full! May they be insulted the same way they insulted you, O Lord!
13 Then we, your people, the sheep of your pasture, will continually thank you. We will tell coming generations of your praiseworthy acts.
1 A Psalm H4210 of Asaph. H623 O God, H430 the heathen H1471 are come H935 into thine inheritance; H5159 H853 thy holy H6944 temple H1964 have they defiled; H2930 they have laid H7760 H853 Jerusalem H3389 on heaps. H5856
2 H853 The dead bodies H5038 of thy servants H5650 have they given H5414 to be meat H3978 unto the fowls H5775 of the heaven, H8064 the flesh H1320 of thy saints H2623 unto the beasts H2416 of the earth. H776
3 Their blood H1818 have they shed H8210 like water H4325 round about H5439 Jerusalem; H3389 and there was none H369 to bury H6912 them .
4 We are become H1961 a reproach H2781 to our neighbors, H7934 a scorn H3933 and derision H7047 to them that are round about H5439 us.
5 How long H5704 H4100 , LORD H3068 ? wilt thou be angry H599 forever H5331 ? shall thy jealousy H7068 burn H1197 like H3644 fire H784 ?
6 Pour out H8210 thy wrath H2534 upon H413 the heathen H1471 that H834 have not H3808 known H3045 thee , and upon H5921 the kingdoms H4467 that H834 have not H408 called H7121 upon thy name. H8034
7 For H3588 they have devoured H398 H853 Jacob, H3290 and laid waste H8074 his dwelling place. H5116
8 O remember H2142 not H408 against us former H7223 iniquities: H5771 let thy tender mercies H7356 speedily H4116 prevent H6923 us: for H3588 we are brought very low H1809 H3966 .
9 Help H5826 us , O God H430 of our salvation, H3468 for H5921 H1697 the glory H3519 of thy name: H8034 and deliver H5337 us , and purge away H3722 H5921 our sins, H2403 for thy name's sake H4616 H8034 .
10 Wherefore H4100 should the heathen H1471 say, H559 Where H346 is their God H430 ? let him be known H3045 among the heathen H1471 in our sight H5869 by the revenging H5360 of the blood H1818 of thy servants H5650 which is shed. H8210
11 Let the sighing H603 of the prisoner H615 come H935 before H6440 thee ; according to the greatness H1433 of thy power H2220 preserve H3498 thou those that are appointed H1121 to die; H8546
12 And render H7725 unto our neighbors H7934 sevenfold H7659 into H413 their bosom H2436 their reproach, H2781 wherewith H834 they have reproached H2778 thee , O Lord. H136
13 So we H587 thy people H5971 and sheep H6629 of thy pasture H4830 will give thee thanks H3034 forever: H5769 we will show forth H5608 thy praise H8416 to all generations H1755 H1755 .
