Psalms 79:1-5

JuliaSmith(i) 1 Chanting to Asaph. O God, the nations came into thine inheritance; they defiled thy holy temple; they set Jerusalem for ruins. 2 They gave the corpses of thy servants food to the birds of the heavens, the flesh of thy godly ones to the beasts of the earth. 3 They poured out their blood as water round about Jerusalem; and none burying. 4 We were a reproach to our neighbors, a derision and scorn to those being round about us. 5 How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou be angry forever? shall thy jealousy burn as fire?
