Psalm 79 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

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

Psa 79:1A Psalm of Asaph.
O God, the nations have [fn]invaded Your inheritance;
They have defiled Your holy temple;
They have laid Jerusalem in ruins.

Psa 79:2

Psa 79:2They have given the dead bodies of Your servants for food to the birds of the heavens,
The flesh of Your godly ones to the beasts of the earth.

Psa 79:3

Psa 79:3They have poured out their blood like water round about Jerusalem;
And there was no one to bury them.

Psa 79:4

Psa 79:4We have become a reproach to our neighbors,
A scoffing and derision to those around us.

Psa 79:5

Psa 79:5How long, O LORD? Will You be angry forever?
Will Your jealousy burn like fire?

Psa 79:6

Psa 79:6Pour out Your wrath upon the nations which do not know You,
And upon the kingdoms which do not call upon Your name.

Psa 79:7

Psa 79:7For they have devoured Jacob
And laid waste his [fn]habitation.

Psa 79:8

Psa 79:8Do not remember [fn]the iniquities of our forefathers against us;
Let Your compassion come quickly to meet us,
For we are brought very low.

Psa 79:9

Psa 79:9Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of Your name;
And deliver us and [fn]forgive our sins for Your name’s sake.

Psa 79:10

Psa 79:10Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”
Let there be known among the nations in our sight,
Vengeance for the blood of Your servants which has been shed.

Psa 79:11

Psa 79:11Let the groaning of the prisoner come before You;
According to the greatness of Your [fn]power preserve [fn]those who are doomed to die.

Psa 79:12

Psa 79:12And return to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom
[fn]The reproach with which they have reproached You, O Lord.

Psa 79:13

Psa 79:13So we Your people and the sheep of Your [fn]pasture
Will give thanks to You forever;
To all generations we will tell of Your praise.
