Psalm 79 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

Psa 79:1A Psalm by Asaf. God, the nations have come into your inheritance. They have defiled your holy temple. They have laid Yerushalayim in heaps.
Psa 79:2They have given the dead bodies of your servants to be food for the birds of the sky, The flesh of your holy ones to the animals of the eretz.
Psa 79:3Their blood they have shed like water around Yerushalayim. There was no one to bury them.
Psa 79:4We have become a reproach to our neighbors, A scoffing and derision to those who are around us.
Psa 79:5How long, LORD? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire?
Psa 79:6Pour out your wrath on the nations that don't know you; On the kingdoms that don't call on your name;
Psa 79:7For they have devoured Ya`akov, And destroyed his homeland.
Psa 79:8Don't hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us. Let your tender mercies speedily meet us, For we are in desperate need.
Psa 79:9Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of your name. Deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your name's sake.
Psa 79:10Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?" Let it be known among the nations, before our eyes, That vengeance for your servants' blood is being poured out.
Psa 79:11Let the sighing of the prisoner come before you. According to the greatness of your power, preserve those who are sentenced to death;
Psa 79:12Pay back to our neighbors seven times into their bosom Their reproach with which they have reproached you, Lord.
Psa 79:13So we, your people and sheep of your pasture, Will give you thanks forever. We will praise you forever, to all generations.
