Psalms 79:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 79:3

1 O God, the¹ nations have come into ^aYour inheritance;
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.

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 ^aneighbors,
A scorn and derision to those who are around us.

5 ^aHow long, Lord?
Will You be angry forever?
Will Your ^bjealousy burn like fire?
