Psalm 79:1-5

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

79 O God, the heathen have come into thy inheritance;
    they have defiled thy holy temple;
    they have laid Jerusalem in ruins.
² They have given the bodies of thy servants
    to the birds of the air for food,
    the flesh of thy saints to the beasts of the earth.
³ They have poured out their blood like water
    round about Jerusalem,
    and there was none to bury them.
⁴ We have become a taunt to our neighbors,
    mocked and derided by those round about us.
