A Dirge and a Prayer for Israel, Destroyed by Enemies
A Psalm of Asaph.
1 O God, the1 nations have come into aYour inheritance;
Your holy temple they have defiled;
bThey have laid Jerusalem1 in heaps.
Your holy temple they have defiled;
bThey have laid Jerusalem1 in heaps.
2 aThe 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.
They have given as food for the birds of the heavens,
The flesh of Your saints to the beasts of the earth.
6 aPour out Your wrath on the1 nations that bdo not know You,
And on the kingdoms that cdo not call on Your name.
And on the kingdoms that cdo not call on Your name.
8 aOh, do not remember1 former iniquities against us!
Let Your tender mercies come speedily to meet us,
For we have been brought very low.
Let Your tender mercies come speedily to 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 provide atonement for our sins,
aFor Your name’s sake!
For the glory of Your name;
And deliver us, and provide atonement for our sins,
aFor Your name’s sake!
