(1) A psalm of Asaph.O God, heathens have entered Your domain,defiled Your holy temple,and turned Jerusalem into ruins. (2) They have left Your servants’ corpsesas food for the fowl of heaven,and the flesh of Your faithful for the wild beasts. (3) Their blood was shed like water around Jerusalem,with none to bury them. (4) We have become the butt of our neighbors,the scorn and derision of those around us. (5) How long, O LORD, will You be angry forever,will Your indignation blaze like fire? (6) Pour out Your fury on the nations that do not know You,upon the kingdoms that do not invoke Your name, (7) for they have devoured Jacoband desolated his home. (8) Do not hold our former iniquities against us;let Your compassion come swiftly toward us,for we have sunk very low. (9) Help us, O God, our deliverer,for the sake of the glory of Your name.Save us and forgive our sin,for the sake of Your name. (10) Let the nations not say, “Where is their God?”Before our eyes let it be known among the nationsthat You avenge the spilled blood of Your servants. (11) Let the groans of the prisoners reach You;reprieve those condemned to death,as befits Your great strength. (12) Pay back our neighbors sevenfoldfor the abuse they have flung at You, O Lord. (13) Then we, Your people,the flock You shepherd,shall glorify You forever;for all time we shall tell Your praises.

(3) I pour out my complaint before Him;I lay my trouble before Him (4) when my spirit fails within me.You know my course;they have laid a trap in the path I walk. (5) Look at my right and see—I have no friend;there is nowhere I can flee,no one cares about me. (6) So I cry to You, O LORD;I say, “You are my refuge,all I have in the land of the living.” (7) Listen to my cry, for I have been brought very low;save me from my pursuers,for they are too strong for me. (8) Free me from prison,that I may praise Your name.The righteous bMeaning of Heb. uncertain.shall glory in me-bfor Your gracious dealings with me.
