Psalm 79

C.M.
A Psalm of Asaph.

¹ O God, the heathen enter’d have
thine ‘herit’nce, and defil’d
thine holy temple: they on heaps
Jerusalem have pil’d.
² The dead bodies of thy servants
they given have for meat
to th’ fowls of heav’n: flesh of thy saints
for beasts of earth to eat.

³ Their blood they have forth poured round
about Jerusalem
like unto waters: and there was
none for to bury them.
⁴ To those that near unto us dwell
reproach become are we:
a scoffing and a scorn to them
that round about us be.

⁵ How long, Jehovah, wilt thou still
continue in thine ire,
for ever? shall thy jealousy
burn like as doth the fire?
⁶ Upon the heathen pour thy wrath
which never did thee know,
upon the kingdoms that have not
call’d on thy name also.

⁷ Because they Jacob have devour’d:
his habitation
they also wondrously have brought
to desolation.
⁸ Mind not against us former sins,
let thy mercies make haste
us to prevent: because we are
near utterly laid waste.

⁹ God of our safety, help thou us
for thy name’s glory make,
us free also, and purge away
our sin for thy name’s sake.
¹⁰ Why say the heathen where’s their God?
with heathen let be known
before our eyes, the vengeance of
thy servants’ blood out flown.

¹¹ Before thee let the prisoner’s sighs
come up, accordingly
as is thy mighty arm: save those
that are design’d to die;
¹² And to our neighbours seven fold,
into their bosom pay,
that their reproach, with which, O Lord,
reproached thee have they.

¹³ So we thy folk and pasture sheep,
will give thee thanks always:
and unto generations all,
we will show forth thy praise.
