Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version

Psalms 79 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

One of Asaph’s songs of praise.

1. God, some people from other nations came to fight your people. They ruined your holy Temple. They left Jerusalem in ruins.

2. They left the bodies of your servants for the wild birds to eat. They let wild animals eat the bodies of your followers.

3. Blood flowed like water all over Jerusalem. No one is left to bury the bodies.

4. The countries around us insult us. The people around us laugh at us and make fun of us.

5. Lord, will you be angry with us forever? Will your strong feelings continue to burn like a fire?

6. Turn your anger against the nations that do not know you, against the people who do not honor you as God.

7. Those nations killed Jacob’s family and destroyed their land.

8. Please don’t punish us for the sins of our ancestors. Hurry, show us your mercy! We need you so much!

9. Our God and Savior, help us! That will bring glory to your name. Save us and forgive our sins for the good of your name.

10. Don’t give the other nations a reason to say, “Where is their God? Can’t he help them?” Let us see you punish those people. Punish them for killing your servants.

11. Listen to the sad cries of the prisoners! Use your great power to free those who are sentenced to die.

12. Punish the nations around us! Pay them back seven times for what they did to us. Punish them for insulting you.
