Psalms 79:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 79:4

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?

6 ^aPour out Your wrath on the¹ nations that ^bdo not know You,
And on the kingdoms that ^cdo not call on Your name.
