1A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the nations have come into Your inheritance; Your holy temple they have defiled; They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.1מִזְמ֗וֹר לְאָ֫סָ֥ף אֱ‍ֽלֹהִ֡ים בָּ֤אוּ גוֹיִ֨ם ׀ בְּֽנַחֲלָתֶ֗ךָ טִ֭מְּאוּ אֶת־ הֵיכַ֣ל קָדְשֶׁ֑ךָ שָׂ֖מוּ אֶת־ יְרוּשָׁלִַ֣ם לְעִיִּֽים׃
2The dead bodies of Your servants They have given as food for the birds of the heavens, The flesh of Your saints to the beasts of the earth.2נָֽתְנ֡וּ אֶת־ נִבְלַ֬ת עֲבָדֶ֗יךָ מַ֭אֲכָל לְע֣וֹף הַשָּׁמָ֑יִם בְּשַׂ֥ר חֲ֝סִידֶ֗יךָ לְחַיְתוֹ־ אָֽרֶץ׃
3Their blood they have shed like water all around Jerusalem, And there was no one to bury them.3שָׁפְכ֬וּ דָמָ֨ם ׀ כַּמַּ֗יִם סְֽבִ֘יב֤וֹת יְֽרוּשָׁלִָ֗ם וְאֵ֣ין קוֹבֵֽר׃
4We have become a reproach to our neighbors, A scorn and derision to those who are around us.4הָיִ֣ינוּ חֶ֭רְפָּה לִשְׁכֵנֵ֑ינוּ לַ֥עַג וָ֝קֶ֗לֶס לִסְבִיבוֹתֵֽינוּ׃
5How long, LORD? Will You be angry forever? Will Your jealousy burn like fire?5עַד־ מָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה תֶּאֱנַ֣ף לָנֶ֑צַח תִּבְעַ֥ר כְּמוֹ־ אֵ֝֗שׁ קִנְאָתֶֽךָ׃
6Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not know You, And on the kingdoms that do not call on Your name.6שְׁפֹ֤ךְ חֲמָתְךָ֨ אֶֽל־ הַגּוֹיִם֮ אֲשֶׁ֪ר לֹא־ יְדָ֫ע֥וּךָ וְעַ֥ל מַמְלָכ֑וֹת אֲשֶׁ֥ר בְּ֝שִׁמְךָ֗ לֹ֣א קָרָֽאוּ׃
7For they have devoured Jacob, And laid waste his dwelling place.7כִּ֭י אָכַ֣ל אֶֽת־ יַעֲקֹ֑ב וְֽאֶת־ נָוֵ֥הוּ הֵשַֽׁמּוּ׃
8Oh, do not remember former iniquities against us! Let Your tender mercies come speedily to meet us, For we have been brought very low.8אַֽל־ תִּזְכָּר־ לָנוּ֮ עֲוֺנֹ֪ת רִאשֹׁ֫נִ֥ים מַ֭הֵר יְקַדְּמ֣וּנוּ רַחֲמֶ֑יךָ כִּ֖י דַלּ֣וֹנוּ מְאֹֽד׃
9Help us, O God of our salvation, For the glory of Your name; And deliver us, and provide atonement 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 say, “Where is their God?” Let there be known among the nations in our sight The avenging of the blood of Your servants which has been shed.10לָ֤מָּה ׀ יֹאמְר֣וּ הַגּוֹיִם֮ אַיֵּ֪ה אֱ‍ֽלֹהֵ֫יהֶ֥ם יִוָּדַ֣ע בגיים [בַּגּוֹיִ֣ם] (לְעֵינֵ֑ינוּ) נִ֝קְמַ֗ת דַּֽם־ עֲבָדֶ֥יךָ הַשָּׁפֽוּךְ׃
11Let the groaning of the prisoner come before You; According to the greatness of Your power Preserve those who are appointed to die;11תָּ֤ב֣וֹא לְפָנֶיךָ֮ אֶנְקַ֪ת אָ֫סִ֥יר כְּגֹ֥דֶל זְרוֹעֲךָ֑ ה֝וֹתֵ֗ר בְּנֵ֣י תְמוּתָֽה׃
12And return to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom Their reproach with which they have reproached You, O Lord.12וְהָ֘שֵׁ֤ב לִשְׁכֵנֵ֣ינוּ שִׁ֭בְעָתַיִם אֶל־ חֵיקָ֑ם חֶרְפָּ֘תָ֤ם אֲשֶׁ֖ר חֵרְפ֣וּךָ אֲדֹנָֽי׃
13So we, Your people and sheep of Your pasture, Will give You thanks forever; We will show forth Your praise to all generations.13וַאֲנַ֤חְנוּ עַמְּךָ֨ ׀ וְצֹ֥אן מַרְעִיתֶךָ֮ נ֤וֹדֶ֥ה לְּךָ֗ לְע֫וֹלָ֥ם לְדֹ֥ר וָדֹ֑ר נְ֝סַפֵּ֗ר תְּהִלָּתֶֽךָ׃
