1
A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the nations have come into Your inheritance; Your holy temple they have defiled; They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.
2
The dead bodies of Your servants They have given as food for the birds of the heavens, The flesh of Your saints to the beasts of the earth.
3
Their blood they have shed like water all around Jerusalem, And there was no one to bury them.
4
We have become a reproach to our neighbors, A scorn and derision to those who are around us.
5
How long, Lord? Will You be angry forever? Will Your jealousy burn like fire?
6
Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not know You, And on the kingdoms that do not call on Your name.
7
For they have devoured Jacob, And laid waste his dwelling place.
