(Psa 79:1) O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.
(Psa 79:2) The dead bodies of thy servants have they given {to be} meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.
(Psa 79:3) Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and {there was} none to bury {them}.
(Psa 79:4) We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
(Psa 79:5) How long, Lord? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?
(Psa 79:6) Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.
(Psa 79:7) For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.
(Psa 79:8) O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.
(Psa 79:9) Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake.
(Psa 79:10) Wherefore should the heathen say, Where {is} their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight {by} the revenging of the blood of thy servants {which is} shed.
(Psa 79:11) Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die;
(Psa 79:12) And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.
(Psa 79:13) So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will shew forth thy praise to all generations.
