|
|
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.
