Psalms 79:1-5
Psalms 79:1
God, the nations have invaded Your inheritance; They have defiled Your holy temple; They have laid Jerusalem in ruins.
Psalms 79:2
They have given the dead bodies of Your servants to the birds of the sky as food, The flesh of Your godly ones to the animals of the earth.
Psalms 79:3
They have poured out their blood like water all around Jerusalem; And there was no one to bury them.
Psalms 79:4
We have become a disgrace before our neighbors, An object of derision and ridicule to those around us.
Psalms 79:5
How long, Lord? Will You be angry forever? Will Your jealousy burn like fire?
