1A psalm of Asaph. O God, pagan nations have conquered your land, your special possession. They have defiled your holy Temple and made Jerusalem a heap of ruins.1מִזְמ֗וֹר לְאָ֫סָ֥ף אֱ‍ֽלֹהִ֡ים בָּ֤אוּ גוֹיִ֨ם ׀ בְּֽנַחֲלָתֶ֗ךָ טִ֭מְּאוּ אֶת־ הֵיכַ֣ל קָדְשֶׁ֑ךָ שָׂ֖מוּ אֶת־ יְרוּשָׁלִַ֣ם לְעִיִּֽים׃
2They have left the bodies of your servants as food for the birds of heaven. The flesh of your godly ones has become food for the wild animals.2נָֽתְנ֡וּ אֶת־ נִבְלַ֬ת עֲבָדֶ֗יךָ מַ֭אֲכָל לְע֣וֹף הַשָּׁמָ֑יִם בְּשַׂ֥ר חֲ֝סִידֶ֗יךָ לְחַיְתוֹ־ אָֽרֶץ׃
3Blood has flowed like water all around Jerusalem; no one is left to bury the dead.3שָׁפְכ֬וּ דָמָ֨ם ׀ כַּמַּ֗יִם סְֽבִ֘יב֤וֹת יְֽרוּשָׁלִָ֗ם וְאֵ֣ין קוֹבֵֽר׃
4We are mocked by our neighbors, an object of scorn and derision to those around us.4הָיִ֣ינוּ חֶ֭רְפָּה לִשְׁכֵנֵ֑ינוּ לַ֥עַג וָ֝קֶ֗לֶס לִסְבִיבוֹתֵֽינוּ׃
5O LORD, how long will you be angry with us? Forever? How long will your jealousy burn like fire?5עַד־ מָ֣ה יְ֭הוָה תֶּאֱנַ֣ף לָנֶ֑צַח תִּבְעַ֥ר כְּמוֹ־ אֵ֝֗שׁ קִנְאָתֶֽךָ׃
6Pour out your wrath on the nations that refuse to acknowledge you--on kingdoms that do not call upon your name.6שְׁפֹ֤ךְ חֲמָתְךָ֨ אֶֽל־ הַגּוֹיִם֮ אֲשֶׁ֪ר לֹא־ יְדָ֫ע֥וּךָ וְעַ֥ל מַמְלָכ֑וֹת אֲשֶׁ֥ר בְּ֝שִׁמְךָ֗ לֹ֣א קָרָֽאוּ׃
7For they have devoured your people Israel, making the land a desolate wilderness.7כִּ֭י אָכַ֣ל אֶֽת־ יַעֲקֹ֑ב וְֽאֶת־ נָוֵ֥הוּ הֵשַֽׁמּוּ׃
8Do not hold us guilty for the sins of our ancestors! Let your compassion quickly meet our needs, for we are on the brink of despair.8אַֽל־ תִּזְכָּר־ לָנוּ֮ עֲוֺנֹ֪ת רִאשֹׁ֫נִ֥ים מַ֭הֵר יְקַדְּמ֣וּנוּ רַחֲמֶ֑יךָ כִּ֖י דַלּ֣וֹנוּ מְאֹֽד׃
9Help us, O God of our salvation! Help us for the glory of your name. Save us and forgive our sins for the honor of your name.9עָזְרֵ֤נוּ ׀ אֱלֹ֘הֵ֤י יִשְׁעֵ֗נוּ עַל־ דְּבַ֥ר כְּבֽוֹד־ שְׁמֶ֑ךָ וְהַצִּילֵ֥נוּ וְכַפֵּ֥ר עַל־ חַ֝טֹּאתֵ֗ינוּ לְמַ֣עַן שְׁמֶֽךָ׃
10Why should pagan nations be allowed to scoff, asking, "Where is their God?" Show us your vengeance against the nations, for they have spilled the blood of your servants.10לָ֤מָּה ׀ יֹאמְר֣וּ הַגּוֹיִם֮ אַיֵּ֪ה אֱ‍ֽלֹהֵ֫יהֶ֥ם יִוָּדַ֣ע בגיים [בַּגּוֹיִ֣ם] (לְעֵינֵ֑ינוּ) נִ֝קְמַ֗ת דַּֽם־ עֲבָדֶ֥יךָ הַשָּׁפֽוּךְ׃
11Listen to the moaning of the prisoners. Demonstrate your great power by saving those condemned to die.11תָּ֤ב֣וֹא לְפָנֶיךָ֮ אֶנְקַ֪ת אָ֫סִ֥יר כְּגֹ֥דֶל זְרוֹעֲךָ֑ ה֝וֹתֵ֗ר בְּנֵ֣י תְמוּתָֽה׃
12O Lord, pay back our neighbors seven times for the scorn they have hurled at you.12וְהָ֘שֵׁ֤ב לִשְׁכֵנֵ֣ינוּ שִׁ֭בְעָתַיִם אֶל־ חֵיקָ֑ם חֶרְפָּ֘תָ֤ם אֲשֶׁ֖ר חֵרְפ֣וּךָ אֲדֹנָֽי׃
13Then we your people, the sheep of your pasture, will thank you forever and ever, praising your greatness from generation to generation.13וַאֲנַ֤חְנוּ עַמְּךָ֨ ׀ וְצֹ֥אן מַרְעִיתֶךָ֮ נ֤וֹדֶ֥ה לְּךָ֗ לְע֫וֹלָ֥ם לְדֹ֥ר וָדֹ֑ר נְ֝סַפֵּ֗ר תְּהִלָּתֶֽךָ׃
