Lamento por la destrucción de Jerusalén
Salmo de Asaf.
79 Oh Dios, las naciones han invadido[a](A) tu heredad(B);
han profanado tu santo templo(C);
han dejado a Jerusalén en ruinas(D).
2 Han dado los cadáveres de tus siervos por comida a las aves del cielo,
la carne de tus santos a las fieras de la tierra(E).
3 Como agua han derramado su sangre alrededor de Jerusalén;
y no hubo quien les diera sepultura(F).
4 Hemos sido el oprobio de nuestros vecinos,
escarnio y burla de los que nos rodean(G).
5 ¿Hasta cuándo, Señor? ¿Estarás airado para siempre(H)?
¿Arderán como fuego tus celos(I)?
6 Derrama tu furor(J) sobre las naciones que no te conocen(K),
y sobre los reinos que no invocan tu nombre(L).
7 Pues han devorado a Jacob(M),
y han asolado su morada[b](N).
8 No recuerdes contra nosotros las iniquidades de nuestros antepasados[c](O);
venga pronto a nuestro encuentro tu compasión(P),
porque estamos muy abatidos(Q).
9 Ayúdanos oh Dios de nuestra salvación(R),
por la gloria de tu nombre(S);
líbranos y perdona nuestros pecados(T) por amor de tu nombre(U).
10 ¿Por qué han de decir las naciones: Dónde está su Dios(V)?
Sea notoria entre las naciones, a nuestra vista,
la venganza por la sangre derramada de tus siervos(W).
11 Llegue a tu presencia el gemido del cautivo(X);
conforme a la grandeza de tu poder[d] preserva a los condenados a muerte[e](Y).
12 Y devuelve a nuestros vecinos siete veces(Z) en su seno(AA)
la[f] afrenta con que te han ofendido(AB), Señor.
13 Y nosotros, pueblo tuyo y ovejas de tu prado(AC),
te daremos gracias para siempre(AD);
a todas las generaciones hablaremos de tu alabanza(AE).

A Prayer for Jerusalem
79 O God, the nations have come into the land of Your people. They have made Your holy house dirty. They have crushed the walls and buildings of Jerusalem. 2 They have given the dead bodies of Your servants to the birds of the heavens for food. The flesh of those who belong to You has been given to the wild animals of the earth. 3 They have poured out their blood like water all around Jerusalem. And there was no one to bury them. 4 We have become a shame to our neighbors. Those around us laugh at and make fun of us. 5 How long, O Lord? Will You be angry forever? Will Your jealousy burn like fire? 6 Pour out Your anger on the nations that do not know You, and on the nations that do not call on Your name. 7 For they have destroyed Jacob. They have laid waste the place where he lived.
8 Do not hold the sins of our fathers against us. Let Your loving-pity come fast to meet us. For we are in much need. 9 O God Who saves us, help us for the honor of Your name. Take us out of trouble and forgive our sins, for the honor of Your name. 10 Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” Make it known among the nations, in front of our eyes, that You punish for the blood that has poured from Your servants. 11 Hear the cries of those in prison. By the greatness of Your power, save those who are being sent to death. 12 And return to our neighbors seven times the shame that they have brought You, O Lord. 13 Then we Your people, the sheep of Your field, will give thanks to You forever. We will tell of Your praise to all the people of all times.

Psalm 79
A psalm of Asaph.
1 O God, the nations have invaded your inheritance;(A)
they have defiled(B) your holy temple,
they have reduced Jerusalem to rubble.(C)
2 They have left the dead bodies of your servants
as food for the birds of the sky,(D)
the flesh of your own people for the animals of the wild.(E)
3 They have poured out blood like water
all around Jerusalem,
and there is no one to bury(F) the dead.(G)
4 We are objects of contempt to our neighbors,
of scorn(H) and derision to those around us.(I)
5 How long,(J) Lord? Will you be angry(K) forever?
How long will your jealousy burn like fire?(L)
6 Pour out your wrath(M) on the nations
that do not acknowledge(N) you,
on the kingdoms
that do not call on your name;(O)
7 for they have devoured(P) Jacob
and devastated his homeland.
8 Do not hold against us the sins of past generations;(Q)
may your mercy come quickly to meet us,
for we are in desperate need.(R)
9 Help us,(S) God our Savior,
for the glory of your name;
deliver us and forgive our sins
for your name’s sake.(T)
10 Why should the nations say,
“Where is their God?”(U)
Before our eyes, make known among the nations
that you avenge(V) the outpoured blood(W) of your servants.
11 May the groans of the prisoners come before you;
with your strong arm preserve those condemned to die.
12 Pay back into the laps(X) of our neighbors seven times(Y)
the contempt they have hurled at you, Lord.
13 Then we your people, the sheep of your pasture,(Z)
will praise you forever;(AA)
from generation to generation
we will proclaim your praise.

Psalm 79
King James Version
79 O god, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.
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.
3 Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.
4 We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
5 How long, Lord? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?
6 Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.
7 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.
8 O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.
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.
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.
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;
12 And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.
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.
