1God, the nations have invaded your inheritance, desecrated your holy temple, and turned Jerusalem into ruins.1מִזְמ֗וֹר לְאָ֫סָ֥ף אֱ‍ֽלֹהִ֡ים בָּ֤אוּ גוֹיִ֨ם ׀ בְּֽנַחֲלָתֶ֗ךָ טִ֭מְּאוּ אֶת־ הֵיכַ֣ל קָדְשֶׁ֑ךָ שָׂ֖מוּ אֶת־ יְרוּשָׁלִַ֣ם לְעִיִּֽים׃
2They gave the corpses of your servants to the birds of the sky for food, the flesh of your faithful ones to the beasts of the earth.2נָֽתְנ֡וּ אֶת־ נִבְלַ֬ת עֲבָדֶ֗יךָ מַ֭אֲכָל לְע֣וֹף הַשָּׁמָ֑יִם בְּשַׂ֥ר חֲ֝סִידֶ֗יךָ לְחַיְתוֹ־ אָֽרֶץ׃
3They poured out their blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there was no one to bury them.3שָׁפְכ֬וּ דָמָ֨ם ׀ כַּמַּ֗יִם סְֽבִ֘יב֤וֹת יְֽרוּשָׁלִָ֗ם וְאֵ֣ין קוֹבֵֽר׃
4We have become an object of reproach to our neighbors, a source of mockery and ridicule to those around us.4הָיִ֣ינוּ חֶ֭רְפָּה לִשְׁכֵנֵ֑ינוּ לַ֥עַג וָ֝קֶ֗לֶס לִסְבִיבוֹתֵֽינוּ׃
5How long, LORD? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy keep burning like fire?5עַד־ מָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה תֶּאֱנַ֣ף לָנֶ֑צַח תִּבְעַ֥ר כְּמוֹ־ אֵ֝֗שׁ קִנְאָתֶֽךָ׃
6Pour out your wrath on the nations that don't acknowledge you, on the kingdoms that don't call on your name,6שְׁפֹ֤ךְ חֲמָתְךָ֨ אֶֽל־ הַגּוֹיִם֮ אֲשֶׁ֪ר לֹא־ יְדָ֫ע֥וּךָ וְעַ֥ל מַמְלָכ֑וֹת אֲשֶׁ֥ר בְּ֝שִׁמְךָ֗ לֹ֣א קָרָֽאוּ׃
7for they have devoured Jacob and devastated his homeland.7כִּ֭י אָכַ֣ל אֶֽת־ יַעֲקֹ֑ב וְֽאֶת־ נָוֵ֥הוּ הֵשַֽׁמּוּ׃
8Do not hold past iniquities against us; let your compassion come to us quickly, for we have become very weak.8אַֽל־ תִּזְכָּר־ לָנוּ֮ עֲוֺנֹ֪ת רִאשֹׁ֫נִ֥ים מַ֭הֵר יְקַדְּמ֣וּנוּ רַחֲמֶ֑יךָ כִּ֖י דַלּ֣וֹנוּ מְאֹֽד׃
9God of our salvation, help us--for the glory of your name. Rescue us and atone for our sins, for your name's sake.9עָזְרֵ֤נוּ ׀ אֱלֹ֘הֵ֤י יִשְׁעֵ֗נוּ עַל־ דְּבַ֥ר כְּבֽוֹד־ שְׁמֶ֑ךָ וְהַצִּילֵ֥נוּ וְכַפֵּ֥ר עַל־ חַ֝טֹּאתֵ֗ינוּ לְמַ֣עַן שְׁמֶֽךָ׃
10Why should the nations ask, "Where is their God?" Before our eyes, let vengeance for the shed blood of your servants be known among the nations.10לָ֤מָּה ׀ יֹאמְר֣וּ הַגּוֹיִם֮ אַיֵּ֪ה אֱ‍ֽלֹהֵ֫יהֶ֥ם יִוָּדַ֣ע בגיים [בַּגּוֹיִ֣ם] (לְעֵינֵ֑ינוּ) נִ֝קְמַ֗ת דַּֽם־ עֲבָדֶ֥יךָ הַשָּׁפֽוּךְ׃
11Let the groans of the prisoners reach you; according to your great power, preserve those condemned to die.11תָּ֤ב֣וֹא לְפָנֶיךָ֮ אֶנְקַ֪ת אָ֫סִ֥יר כְּגֹ֥דֶל זְרוֹעֲךָ֑ ה֝וֹתֵ֗ר בְּנֵ֣י תְמוּתָֽה׃
12Pay back sevenfold to our neighbors the reproach they have hurled at you, Lord.12וְהָ֘שֵׁ֤ב לִשְׁכֵנֵ֣ינוּ שִׁ֭בְעָתַיִם אֶל־ חֵיקָ֑ם חֶרְפָּ֘תָ֤ם אֲשֶׁ֖ר חֵרְפ֣וּךָ אֲדֹנָֽי׃
13Then we, your people, the sheep of your pasture, will thank you forever; we will declare your praise to generation after generation.13וַאֲנַ֤חְנוּ עַמְּךָ֨ ׀ וְצֹ֥אן מַרְעִיתֶךָ֮ נ֤וֹדֶ֥ה לְּךָ֗ לְע֫וֹלָ֥ם לְדֹ֥ר וָדֹ֑ר נְ֝סַפֵּ֗ר תְּהִלָּתֶֽךָ׃
