Psalm 79 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

They have given ^H5414 the dead ^H5038 bodies ^H5038 of Your slaves ^H5650 for food ^H3978 to the birds ^H5775 of the heavens ^H8064,

The flesh ^H1320 of Your holy ^H2623 ones ^H2623 to the beasts ^H2416 of the earth ^H776.

They have poured ^H8210 out ^H8210 their blood ^H1818 like water ^H4325 round ^H5439 about ^H5439 Jerusalem ^H3389;

And there ^H369 was ^H369 no ^H369 one ^H369 to bury ^H6912 them.

We have ^H1961 become ^H1961 a reproach ^H2781 to our neighbors ^H7934,

A mockery ^H3933 and derision ^H7047 to those around ^H5439 us.

How ^H4100 long ^H5704, O Yahweh ^H3068? Will You be angry ^H599 forever ^H5331?

Will Your jealousy ^H7068 burn ^H1197 like ^H3644 fire ^H784?

Pour ^H8210 out ^H8210 Your wrath ^H2534 upon the nations ^H1471 which ^H834 do not know ^H3045 You,

And upon the kingdoms ^H4467 which ^H834 do not call ^H7121 upon Your name ^H8034.

For they have devoured ^H398 Jacob ^H3290

And laid ^H8074 waste ^H8074 his [fn]abode ^H5116.

Do not remember ^H2142 our former ^H7223 iniquities ^H5771 against us;

Let Your compassion ^H7356 quickly ^H4118 approach ^H6923 us,

For we are brought ^H1809 very ^H3966 low ^H1809.

Help ^H5826 us, O God ^H430 of our salvation ^H3468, for the glory ^H3519 of Your name ^H8034;

And deliver ^H5337 us and atone ^H3722 for our sins ^H2403 for Your name’s ^H8034 sake ^H4616.

Why ^H4100 should the nations ^H1471 say ^H559, “Where ^H346 is their God ^H430?”

Let it be known ^H3045 among the nations ^H1471 before our eyes ^H5869:

Vengeance ^H5360 for the blood ^H1818 of Your slaves ^H5650 which has been poured ^H8210 out ^H8210.

Let the groaning ^H603 of the prisoner ^H615 come ^H935 before ^H6440 You;

According to the greatness ^H1433 of Your [fn]power ^H2220 preserve ^H3498 [fn]those ^H1121 who are doomed ^H1121 to die ^H8546.

And return ^H7725 to our neighbors ^H7934 sevenfold ^H7659 into their bosom ^H2436

[fn]The reproach ^H2781 with which ^H834 they have reproached ^H2778 You, O Lord ^H136.

But as for us, as Your people ^H5971 and the sheep ^H6629 of Your pasture ^H4830,

We will give ^H3034 thanks ^H3034 to You forever ^H5769;

From generation ^H1755 to ^H1755 generation ^H1755 we will recount ^H5608 Your praise ^H8416.
