[1]
They have defiled your holy temple.
They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.
[2] They have given the dead bodies of your servants to be food for the birds of the sky,
the flesh of your saints to the animals of the earth.
[3] They have shed their blood like water around Jerusalem.
There was no one to bury them.
[4] We have become a reproach to our neighbors,
a scoffing and derision to those who are around us.
[5] How long, Yahweh?
Will you be angry forever?
Will your jealousy burn like fire?
[6] Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t know you,
on the kingdoms that don’t call on your name,
[7] for they have devoured Jacob,
and destroyed his homeland.
[8] Don’t hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us.
Let your tender mercies speedily meet us,
for we are in desperate need.
[9] Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of your name.
Deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your name’s sake.
[10] Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”
Let it be known among the nations, before our eyes,
that vengeance for your servants’ blood is being poured out.
[11] Let the sighing of the prisoner come before you.
According to the greatness of your power, preserve those who are sentenced to death.
[12] Pay back to our neighbors seven times into their bosom
their reproach with which they have reproached you, Lord.
[13] So we, your people and sheep of your pasture,
will give you thanks forever.
We will praise you forever, to all generations.
A Psalm by Asaph.

A PsalmH4210 of Asaph.H623
O God,H430 the heathenH1471 are comeH935(QalPerf) into thine inheritance;H5159 thy holyH6944 templeH1964 have they defiled;H2930(PielPerf) they have laidH7760(QalPerf) JerusalemH3389 on heaps.H5856 [2] The dead bodiesH5038 of thy servantsH5650 have they givenH5414(QalPerf) [to be] meatH3978 unto the fowlsH5775 of the heaven,H8064 the fleshH1320 of thy saintsH2623 unto the beastsH2416 of the earth.H776 [3] Their bloodH1818 have they shedH8210(QalPerf) like waterH4325 round aboutH5439 Jerusalem;H3389 and [there was] none to buryH6912(QalActPtc) [them]. [4] We are become a reproachH2781 to our neighbours,H7934 a scornH3933 and derisionH7047 to them that are round aboutH5439 us. [5] How long, Lord?H3068 wilt thou be angryH599(QalImpf) for ever?H5331 shall thy jealousyH7068 burnH1197(QalImpf) like fire?H784 [6] Pour outH8210(QalImpv) thy wrathH2534 upon the heathenH1471 that have not knownH3045(QalPerf) thee, and upon the kingdomsH4467 that have not calledH7121(QalPerf) upon thy name.H8034 [7] For they have devouredH398(QalPerf) Jacob,H3290 and laid wasteH8074(HiphPerf) his dwelling place.H5116 [8] O rememberH2142(QalImpf) not against us formerH7223 iniquities:H5771 let thy tender merciesH7356 speedilyH4118 preventH6923(PielImpf) us: for we are broughtH1809 veryH3966 low.H1809(QalPerf) [9] HelpH5826(QalImpv) us, O GodH430 of our salvation,H3468 forH1697 the gloryH3519 of thy name:H8034 and deliverH5337(HiphImpv) us, and purge awayH3722(PielImpv) our sins,H2403 for thy name’sH8034 sake. [10] Wherefore should the heathenH1471 say,H559(QalImpf) Where [is] their God?H430 let him be knownH3045(NiphImpf) among the heathenH1471 in our sightH5869 [by] the revengingH5360 of the bloodH1818 of thy servantsH5650 [which is] shed.H8210(QalPasPtc) [11] Let the sighingH603 of the prisonerH615 comeH935(QalImpf) beforeH6440 thee; according to the greatnessH1433 of thy powerH2220 preserveH3498(HiphImpv) thou those that are appointedH1121 to die;H8546 [12] And renderH7725(HiphImpv) unto our neighboursH7934 sevenfoldH7659 into their bosomH2436 their reproach,H2781 wherewith they have reproachedH2778(PielPerf) thee, O Lord.H136 [13] So we thy peopleH5971 and sheepH6629 of thy pastureH4830 will give thee thanksH3034(HiphImpf) for ever:H5769 we will shew forthH5608(PielImpf) thy praiseH8416 to allH1755 generations.H1755Byzantine Greek New Testament
