Psalm 79:1-7

New American Standard Bible

79 God, the ^(A)nations have ^[a]invaded ^(B)Your inheritance;
They have defiled Your ^(C)holy temple;
They have ^(D)laid Jerusalem in ruins.
² They have given the ^(E)dead bodies of Your servants to the birds of the sky as food,
The flesh of Your godly ones to the animals of the earth.
³ They have poured out their blood like water all around Jerusalem;
And there was ^(F)no one to bury them.
⁴ We have become a ^(G)disgrace before our neighbors,
An object of derision and ridicule to those around us.
^5 (H)How long, Lord? Will You be angry forever?
Will Your ^(I)jealousy ^(J)burn like fire?
^6 (K)Pour out Your wrath upon the nations which ^(L)do not know You,
And upon the kingdoms which ^(M)do not call upon Your name.
⁷ For they have ^(N)devoured Jacob
And ^(O)laid waste his ^[b]settlement.
