1[an error occurred while processing this directive]1A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the nations have invaded Your inheritance; They have defiled Your holy temple; They have laid Jerusalem in ruins.
2[an error occurred while processing this directive]2They have given the dead bodies of Your servants for food to the birds of the heavens, The flesh of Your godly ones to the beasts of the earth.
3[an error occurred while processing this directive]3They have poured out their blood like water round about Jerusalem; And there was no one to bury them.
4[an error occurred while processing this directive]4We have become a reproach to our neighbors, A scoffing and derision to those around us.
5[an error occurred while processing this directive]5How long, O LORD? Will You be angry forever? Will Your jealousy burn like fire?
6[an error occurred while processing this directive]6Pour out Your wrath upon the nations which do not know You, And upon the kingdoms which do not call upon Your name.
7[an error occurred while processing this directive]7For they have devoured Jacob And laid waste his habitation.
8[an error occurred while processing this directive]8Do not remember the iniquities of our forefathers against us; Let Your compassion come quickly to meet us, For we are brought very low.
9[an error occurred while processing this directive]9Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of Your name; And deliver us and forgive our sins for Your name's sake.

11[an error occurred while processing this directive]11Let the groaning of the prisoner come before You; According to the greatness of Your power preserve those who are doomed to die.
12[an error occurred while processing this directive]12And return to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom The reproach with which they have reproached You, O Lord.
13[an error occurred while processing this directive]13So we Your people and the sheep of Your pasture Will give thanks to You forever; To all generations we will tell of Your praise.
