1 O God, the nations have invaded the land that belongs to you.They have dishonored your holy temple.They have left Jerusalem in ruins.
2 They have given the dead bodies of your servantsto the birds for food.They have given the flesh of your godly onesto the animals.
3 They have shed the blood of your people around Jerusalemas though it were water.There is no one to bury your people.
4 We have become a disgrace to our neighbors,an object of ridicule and contempt to those around us.
5 How long, O Lord?Will you remain angry forever?Will your fury continue to burn like fire?
6 Pour your fury on the nations that do not know you,on the kingdoms that have not called you.
