Psalms 79:1-4 ▼

1 {A Psalm of Asaph.} O God, the nations are come into thine inheritance: thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem in heaps.

2 The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowl of the heavens, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth:

3 Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem, and there was none to bury [them].

4 We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a mockery and a derision to them that are round about us.
