A Psalm{H4210} of Asaph{H623}. O God{H430}, the heathen{H1471} are come{H935}{H8804)} into thine inheritance{H5159}; thy holy{H6944} temple{H1964} have they defiled{H2930}{H8765)}; they have laid{H7760}{H8804)} Jerusalem{H3389} on heaps{H5856}.

The dead bodies{H5038} of thy servants{H5650} have they given{H5414}{H8804)} to be meat{H3978} unto the fowls{H5775} of the heaven{H8064}, the flesh{H1320} of thy saints{H2623} unto the beasts{H2416} of the earth{H776}.

Their blood{H1818} have they shed{H8210}{H8804)} like water{H4325} round about{H5439} Jerusalem{H3389}; and there was none to bury{H6912}{H8802)} them.

We are become a reproach{H2781} to our neighbours{H7934}, a scorn{H3933} and derision{H7047} to them that are round about{H5439} us.

How long, LORD{H3068}? wilt thou be angry{H599}{H8799)} for ever{H5331}? shall thy jealousy{H7068} burn{H1197}{H8799)} like fire{H784}?

Pour out{H8210}{H8798)} thy wrath{H2534} upon the heathen{H1471} that have not known{H3045}{H8804)} thee, and upon the kingdoms{H4467} that have not called{H7121}{H8804)} upon thy name{H8034}.

For they have devoured{H398}{H8804)} Jacob{H3290}, and laid waste{H8074}{H8689)} his dwelling place{H5116}.

O remember{H2142}{H8799)} not against us former{H7223} iniquities{H5771}: let thy tender mercies{H7356} speedily{H4118} prevent{H6923}{H8762)} us: for we are brought{H1809} very{H3966} low{H1809}{H8804)}.

Help{H5826}{H8798)} us, O God{H430} of our salvation{H3468}, for{H1697} the glory{H3519} of thy name{H8034}: and deliver{H5337}{H8685)} us, and purge away{H3722}{H8761)} our sins{H2403}, for thy name's{H8034} sake.

Wherefore should the heathen{H1471} say{H559}{H8799)}, Where is their God{H430}? let him be known{H3045}{H8735)} among the heathen{H1471} in our sight{H5869} by the revenging{H5360} of the blood{H1818} of thy servants{H5650} which is shed{H8210}{H8803)}.

Let the sighing{H603} of the prisoner{H615} come{H935}{H8799)} before{H6440} thee; according to the greatness{H1433} of thy power{H2220} preserve{H3498}{H8685)} thou those that are appointed{H1121} to die{H8546};

And render{H7725}{H8685)} unto our neighbours{H7934} sevenfold{H7659} into their bosom{H2436} their reproach{H2781}, wherewith they have reproached{H2778}{H8765)} thee, O Lord{H136}.

So we thy people{H5971} and sheep{H6629} of thy pasture{H4830} will give thee thanks{H3034}{H8686)} for ever{H5769}: we will shew forth{H5608}{H8762)} thy praise{H8416} to all{H1755} generations{H1755}.
