1A Psalm of Asaph. O God, nations have come into Thy inheritance, They have defiled Thy holy temple, They made Jerusalem become heaps,
1O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.
2They gave the dead bodies of Thy servants Food for the fowls of the heavens, The flesh of Thy saints For the wild beast of the earth.
2The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.
3They have shed their blood As water round about Jerusalem, And there is none burying.
3Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.
4We have been a reproach to our neighbours, A scorn and a derision to our surrounders.
4We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
5Till when, O Jehovah? art Thou angry for ever? Thy jealousy doth burn as fire.
5How long, Lord? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?
6Pour Thy fury on the nations who have not known Thee, And on kingdoms that have not called in Thy name.
6Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.
7For <FI>one<Fi> hath devoured Jacob, And his habitation they have made desolate.
7For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.
8Remember not for us the iniquities of forefathers, Haste, let Thy mercies go before us, For we have been very weak.
8O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.
9Help us, O God of our salvation, Because of the honour of Thy name, And deliver us, and cover over our sins, For Thy name's sake.
9Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name’s sake.
10Why do the nations say, `Where <FI>is<Fi> their God?' Let be known among the nations before our eyes, The vengeance of the blood of Thy servants that is shed.
10Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed.
11Let the groaning of the prisoner come in before Thee, According to the greatness of Thine arm, Leave Thou the sons of death.
11Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die;
