Psalm 79:1-5


How Long, O Yahweh?

A Psalm of Asaph.

O God, the anations have come into bYour inheritance;
They have defiled Your choly temple;
They have dlaid Jerusalem in ruins.

2
They have given the adead bodies of Your slaves for food to the birds of the heavens,
The flesh of Your holy ones to the beasts of the earth.

3
They have poured out their blood like water round about Jerusalem;
And there was ano one to bury them.

4
We have become a areproach to our neighbors,
A mockery and derision to those around us.

5
aHow long, O Yahweh? Will You be angry forever?
Will Your bjealousy cburn like fire?
