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.
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.
