Psalms 79:1-4 A Psalm of AsaphA Prayer for Jerusalem God, nations have invaded your land to desecrate your holy Temple, to destroy Jerusalem,

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ A Psalm of Asaph
A Prayer for Jerusalem God, nations have invaded your land to desecrate your holy Temple, to destroy Jerusalem, ² to give the corpses of your servants as food for the birds of the skies and the flesh of your godly ones to the beasts of the earth; ³ to make their blood flow like water around Jerusalem, with no one being buried. ⁴ We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a mockery and a derision to those around us.
