Psalms, Chapter 79:

Verses from Psalms, Chapter 79 of the book of Psalms in the Bible.

1. O God, the nations have invaded your inheritance; They desecrated your holy temple and reduced Jerusalem to ruins.
2. They threw the bodies of your servants as food to the birds of the air; the corpses of your faithful were handed over to the wild beasts of the earth.
3. They poured out their blood like water around Jerusalem, and there was no one to bury them.
4. We are mocked by our neighbors, laughed at and mocked by those around us.
5. Until when, Lord? Will you be angry forever? Will your zeal burn like fire?
6. Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not recognize you, on the kingdoms that do not call on your name,
7. for they devoured Jacob and destroyed his dwellings.
8. Remember not against us the iniquities of our ancestors; let your compassion come quickly to meet us, for we are very downcast.
9. Help us, O God, our Savior, for the glory of your name; Deliver us and forgive us our sins, for your name's sake.
10. Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” Before our eyes, make known among the nations your vengeance poured out on the blood of your servants.
11. Let the groaning of the prisoners come before you. With your powerful arm preserve those condemned to death.
12. Repay sevenfold to our neighbors, to those who mocked you, Lord.
13. So we, your people, the sheep of your pasture, will give thanks to you forever; we will tell all peoples of your glory, from generation to generation.
