Salmos 79
Reina-Valera 1995
Lamento por la destrucción de Jerusalén
Salmo de Asaf
79 ¡Vinieron, Dios, las naciones a tu heredad!
¡Han profanado tu santo templo!
¡Han reducido Jerusalén a escombros!
2 ¡Han dado los cuerpos de tus siervos por comida a las aves de los cielos,
la carne de tus santos a las bestias de la tierra!
3 Como agua derramaron su sangre en los alrededores de Jerusalén
y no hubo quien los enterrara.
4 Somos afrentados por nuestros vecinos,
escarnecidos y ofendidos por los que están en nuestros alrededores.
5 ¿Hasta cuándo, Jehová? ¿Estarás airado para siempre?
¿Arderá como fuego tu celo?
6 ¡Derrama tu ira sobre las naciones que no te conocen
y sobre los reinos que no invocan tu nombre!,
7 porque han consumido a Jacob
y su morada han destruido.
8 No recuerdes contra nosotros las maldades de nuestros antepasados.
¡Vengan pronto a nuestro encuentro tus misericordias,
porque estamos muy abatidos!
9 ¡Ayúdanos, Dios de nuestra salvación,
por la gloria de tu nombre!
¡Líbranos y perdona nuestros pecados
por amor de tu nombre!,
10 porque dirán los gentiles:
«¿Dónde está su Dios?»
¡Sea notoria en las naciones, delante de nuestros ojos,
la venganza de la sangre de tus siervos que ha sido derramada!
11 Llegue delante de ti el gemido de los presos;
conforme a la grandeza de tu brazo preserva a los sentenciados a muerte,
12 y devuelve a nuestros vecinos en su seno siete tantos
de su infamia con que te han deshonrado, Jehová.
13 Y nosotros, pueblo tuyo y ovejas de tu prado,
te alabaremos para siempre.
¡De generación en generación
cantaremos tus alabanzas!
Psalm 79
Authorized (King James) Version
Psalm 79
A Psalm of Asaph.
1 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.
