ASV_Strong : Psalms 79
1.
2. The dead bodies[H5038] of thy servants[H5650] have they given[H5414] to be food[H3978] unto the birds[H5775] of the heavens[H8064], The flesh[H1320] of thy saints[H2623] unto the beasts[H2416] of the earth[H776].
3. Their blood[H1818] have they shed[H8210] like water[H4325] round about[H5439] Jerusalem[H3389]; And there was none to bury them[H6912].
4. We are become a reproach[H2781] to our neighbors[H7934], A scoffing[H3933] and derision[H7047] to them that are round about us[H5439].
5. How long[H3068], O Jehovah? wilt thou be angry[H599] for ever[H5331]? Shall thy jealousy[H7068] burn[H1197] like fire[H784]?
6. Pour out[H8210] thy wrath[H2534] upon the nations[H1471] that know[H3045] thee not[H4467], And upon the kingdoms that call[H7121] not upon thy name[H8034].
7. For they have devoured[H398] Jacob[H3290], And laid waste[H8074] his habitation[H5116].
8. Remember[H2142] not against us the iniquities[H5771] of our forefathers[H7223]: Let thy tender mercies[H7356] speedily[H4118] meet[H6923] us[H1809]; For we are brought very[H3966] low[H1809].
9. Help[H5826] us[H430], O God of our salvation[H3468], for[H1697] the glory[H3519] of thy name[H8034]; And deliver[H5337] us[H3722], and forgive our sins[H2403], for thy name[H8034]'s sake.
10. Wherefore should the nations[H1471] say[H559], Where is their God[H430]? Let the avenging[H5360] of the blood[H1818] of thy servants[H5650] which is shed[H8210] Be known[H3045] among the nations[H1471] in our sight[H5869].
11. Let the sighing[H603] of the prisoner[H615] come[H935] before[H6440] thee[H1433]: According to the greatness of thy power[H2220] preserve[H3498] thou those that are appointed[H1121] to death[H8546];
12. And render[H7725] unto our neighbors[H7934] sevenfold[H7659] into their bosom[H2436] Their reproach[H2781], wherewith they have reproached[H2778] thee[H136], O Lord.
13. So we thy people[H5971] and sheep[H6629] of thy pasture[H4830] Will give thee thanks[H3034] for ever[H5769]: We will show forth[H5608] thy praise[H8416] to all[H1755] generations[H1755].
