*A Psalm of Asaph.*

## Text

[1] The nations, O God, have invaded Your inheritance;
they have defiled Your holy temple
and reduced Jerusalem to rubble. [2] They have given the corpses of Your servants
as food to the birds of the air,
the flesh of Your saints to the beasts of the earth. [3] They have poured out their blood like water
all around Jerusalem,
and there is no one to bury the dead. [4] We have become a reproach to our neighbors,
a scorn and derision to those around us. [5] How long, O LORD?
Will You be angry forever?
Will Your jealousy burn like fire? [6] Pour out Your wrath on the nations
that do not acknowledge You,
on the kingdoms
that refuse to call on Your name, [7] for they have devoured Jacob
and devastated his homeland. [8] Do not hold past sins against us;
let Your compassion come quickly,
for we are brought low. [9] Help us, O God of our salvation,
for the glory of Your name;
deliver us and atone for our sins,
for the sake of Your name. [10] Why should the nations ask,
“Where is their God?”
Before our eyes, make known among the nations
Your vengeance for the bloodshed of Your servants. [11] May the groans of the captives reach You;
by the strength of Your arm preserve those condemned to death. [12] Pay back into the laps of our neighbors
sevenfold the reproach they hurled at You, O Lord. [13] Then we Your people, the sheep of Your pasture,
will thank You forever;
from generation to generation
we will declare Your praise.
