1. O God, the Gentiles are come into thine inheritance; they have defiled the temple of thy holiness; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.
2. The dead bodies of thy slaves they have given to be food unto the fowls of the heavens, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.
3. They have shed their blood like water round about Jerusalem, and there was no one to bury them.
4. We are reproached by our neighbours, scorned, and derided by those that are round about us.
5. How long, Lord? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?
6. Pour out thy wrath upon the Gentiles that do not know thee and upon the kingdoms that do not call upon thy name.
7. For they have devoured Jacob and laid waste his dwelling place.
