1 A psalm for Asaph. O God, the heathens are come into thy inheritance, they have defiled thy holy temple: they have made Jerusalem as a place to keep fruit. 2 They have given the dead bodies of thy servants to be meat for the fowls of the air: the flesh of thy saints for the beasts of the earth. 3 They have poured out their blood as water, round about Jerusalem and there was none to bury them. 4 We are become a reproach to our neighbours: a scorn and derision to them that are round about us. Psalms 79:1-4, Douay-Rheims Bible. Public domain.
