Psalms 79:1-10
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 79
1
God, the nations have invaded Your inheritance;
They have defiled Your holy temple;
They have laid Jerusalem in ruins.
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.
3
They have poured out their blood like water all around Jerusalem;
And there was no one to bury them.
4
We have become a disgrace before our neighbors,
An
object of
derision and ridicule to those around us.
5
How long,
Lord
? Will You be angry forever?
Will Your jealousy burn like fire?
6
Pour out Your wrath upon the nations which do not know You,
And upon the kingdoms which do not call upon Your name.
7
For they have devoured Jacob
And laid waste his settlement.
8
Do not hold us responsible for the guilty deeds of
our
forefathers;
Let Your compassion come quickly to meet us,
For we have become very low.
9
Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of Your name;
And save us and forgive our sins for the sake of Your name.
10
Why should the nations say, 'Where is their God?'
Let vengeance for the blood of Your servants which has been shed
Be known among the nations in our sight.
King James Version
Chapter 79
1
A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.
2
The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.
3
Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.
4
We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
5
How long,
Lord
? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?
6
Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.
7
For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.
8
O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.
9
Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake.
10
Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 79
1
A psalm of Asaph.
God, the nations have invaded your inheritance,
desecrated your holy temple,
and turned Jerusalem into ruins.
2
They gave the corpses of your servants
to the birds of the sky for food,
the flesh of your faithful ones
to the beasts of the earth.
3
They poured out their blood
like water all around Jerusalem,
and there was no one to bury them.
4
We have become an object of reproach
to our neighbors,
a source of mockery and ridicule
to those around us.
5
How long,
Lord
? Will you be angry forever?
Will your jealousy keep burning like fire?
6
Pour out your wrath on the nations
that don’t acknowledge you,
on the kingdoms that don’t call on your name,
7
for they have devoured Jacob
and devastated his homeland.
8
Do not hold past iniquities against us;
let your compassion come to us quickly,
for we have become very weak.
9
God of our salvation, help us —
for the glory of your name.
Rescue us and atone for our sins,
for your name’s sake.
10
Why should the nations ask,
"Where is their God?"
Before our eyes,
let vengeance for the shed blood of your servants
be known among the nations.
New Living Translation
Chapter 79
1
O God, pagan nations have conquered your land,
your special possession.
They have defiled your holy Temple
and made Jerusalem a heap of ruins.
2
They have left the bodies of your servants
as food for the birds of heaven.
The flesh of your godly ones
has become food for the wild animals.
3
Blood has flowed like water all around Jerusalem;
no one is left to bury the dead.
4
We are mocked by our neighbors,
an object of scorn and derision to those around us.
5
O
Lord
, how long will you be angry with us? Forever?
How long will your jealousy burn like fire?
6
Pour out your wrath on the nations that refuse to acknowledge you —
on kingdoms that do not call upon your name.
7
For they have devoured your people Israel,
making the land a desolate wilderness.
8
Do not hold us guilty for the sins of our ancestors!
Let your compassion quickly meet our needs,
for we are on the brink of despair.
9
Help us, O God of our salvation!
Help us for the glory of your name.
Save us and forgive our sins
for the honor of your name.
10
Why should pagan nations be allowed to scoff,
asking, 'Where is their God?'
Show us your vengeance against the nations,
for they have spilled the blood of your servants.

3
They have poured out their blood like water

We have become a taunt to our neighbors,

How long, O

? Will you be angry forever?
Will your jealousy burn like fire?
6
Pour out your anger on the nations
that do not know you,

Do not remember against us our former iniquities;

Chapter 79
1
A psalm of Asaph.
O God, the nations have invaded your inheritance;
they have defiled your holy temple,
they have reduced Jerusalem to rubble.
2
They have left the dead bodies of your servants
as food for the birds of the sky,
the flesh of your own people for the animals of the wild.
3
They have poured out blood like water
all around Jerusalem,
and there is no one to bury the dead.
4
We are objects of contempt to our neighbors,
of scorn and derision to those around us.
5
How long,
Lord
? Will you be angry forever?
How long will your jealousy burn like fire?
6
Pour out your wrath on the nations
that do not acknowledge you,
on the kingdoms
that do not call on your name;
7
for they have devoured Jacob
and devastated his homeland.
8
Do not hold against us the sins of past generations;
may your mercy come quickly to meet us,
for we are in desperate need.
9
Help us, God our Savior,
for the glory of your name;
deliver us and forgive our sins
for your name’s sake.
10
Why should the nations say,
"Where is their God?" Before our eyes, make known among the nations
that you avenge the outpoured blood of your servants.

1
{A Psalm of Asaph.}
O God, the nations have come into Your inheritance;
Your holy temple they have defiled;
They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.
2
The 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 neighbors,
A scorn and derision to those who are around us.
5
How long,
Lord
?
Will You be angry forever?
Will Your jealousy burn like fire?
6
Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not know You,
And on the kingdoms that do not call on Your name.
7
For they have devoured Jacob,
And laid waste his dwelling place.
8
Oh, do not remember former iniquities against us!
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,
For Your name’s sake!
10
Why should the nations say,
“Where
is
their God?”
Let there be known among the nations in our sight
The avenging of the blood of Your servants
which has been
shed.
