Psalm 79 :: Darby Translation (DBY)

A Lament over the Destruction of Jerusalem, and Prayer for Help.

Psa 79:1{A Psalm of Asaph.} O God, the nations are come into thine inheritance: thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem in heaps.

Psa 79:2

Psa 79:2The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowl of the heavens, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth:

Psa 79:3

Psa 79:3Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem, and there was none to bury them.

Psa 79:4

Psa 79:4We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a mockery and a derision to them that are round about us.

Psa 79:5

Psa 79:5How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou be angry for ever? Shall thy jealousy burn like fire?

Psa 79:6

Psa 79:6Pour out thy fury upon the nations that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that call not upon thy name:

Psa 79:7

Psa 79:7For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his habitation.

Psa 79:8

Psa 79:8Remember not against us the iniquities of our forefathers; let thy tender mercies speedily come to meet us: for we are brought very low.

Psa 79:9

Psa 79:9Help us, O God of our salvation, because of the glory of thy name; and deliver us, and forgive our sins, for thy name's sake.

Psa 79:10

Psa 79:10Wherefore should the nations say, Where is their God? Let the avenging of the blood of thy servants that is shed be known among the nations in our sight.

Psa 79:11

Psa 79:11Let the groaning of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thine arm, preserve those that are appointed to die;

Psa 79:12

Psa 79:12And render unto our neighbours, sevenfold into their bosom, their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.

Psa 79:13

Psa 79:13And we, thy people and the sheep of thy pasture, will give thanks unto thee for ever; we will shew forth thy praise from generation to generation.

In 1867, John Nelson Darby translated the New Testament from Greek into English. Further revisions were done in 1872 and 1884. Darby’s work was first published as The Holy Scriptures: A New Translation from the Original Languages by J. N. Darby. After Darby’s death in 1882, some of his students worked together to produce the complete Darby Bible based on the Masoretic Hebrew text, Darby’s German (Elberfelder), and the French (Pau) translations. In 1890, the first complete Darby Bible was published in English. This translation of the Bible is in the public domain.
