Psalms 79-Recovery Version

【RCV】Psalms 79

1
O God, the nations have come into Your inheritance; They have defiled Your holy temple; They have turned Jerusalem into heaps.
2
They have given the dead bodies of Your servants As food for the birds of heaven, The flesh of Your saints to the animals of the earth.
3
They have poured out their blood like water around Jerusalem, And there was no one to bury them.
4
We have become a reproach to our neighbors, A mocking and a derision to those around us.
5
How long, O Jehovah? Will You be angry forever? Will Your jealousy burn like fire?
6
Pour out Your wrath upon the nations Who do not know You, And upon the kingdoms Who do not call upon Your name.
7
For they have devoured Jacob And have desolated his habitation.
8
Do not remember against us the iniquities of our forefathers; May Your compassions quickly meet us, For we have been brought very low.
9
Help us, O God of our salvation, For the glory of Your name; And deliver us and expiate our sins, For Your name's sake.
10
Why should the nations say, Where is their God? May the avenging of the blood of Your servants, which has been poured out, Be known among the nations in our sight.
11
May the sighing of the prisoner come before You. According to the greatness of Your power preserve those appointed to die,
12
And render to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom Their reproach, with which they have reproached You, O Lord.
13
And we, Your people and the sheep of Your pasture, Will give You thanks forever; From generation to generation we will tell out Your praise.
