Psalms 79 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

PSALM 79

1. A psalm of Asaph.O God, the nations have invaded your inheritance;they have defiled your holy temple;they have laid Jerusalem in ruins.

I

2. They have left the corpses of your servantsas food for the birds of the sky,the flesh of those devoted to you for the beasts of the earth.

3. They have poured out their blood like waterall around Jerusalem,and no one is left to do the burying.

4. We have become the reproach of our neighbors,the scorn and derision of those around us.

II

5. How long, Lord? Will you be angry forever?Will your jealous anger keep burning like fire?

6. Pour out your wrath on nations that do not recognize you,on kingdoms that do not call on your name,

7. For they have devoured Jacob,laid waste his dwelling place.

8. Do not remember against us the iniquities of our forefathers;let your compassion move quickly ahead of us,for we have been brought very low.

III

9. Help us, God our savior,on account of the glory of your name.Deliver us, pardon our sinsfor your name’s sake.

10. Why should the nations say,“Where is their God?”Before our eyes make known to the nationsthat you avenge the blood of your servants which has been poured out.

IV

11. Let the groaning of the imprisoned come in before you;in accord with the greatness of your armpreserve those doomed to die.

12. Turn back sevenfold into the bosom of our neighborsthe insult with which they insulted you, Lord.

13. Then we, your people, the sheep of your pasture,will give thanks to you forever;from generation to generationwe will recount your praise.
