1 O God, the heathen have invaded your land.They have desecrated your holy Templeand left Jerusalem in ruins.
2 They left the bodies of your people for the vultures,the bodies of your servants for wild animals to eat.
3 They shed your people's blood like water;blood flowed like water all through Jerusalem,and no one was left to bury the dead.
4 The surrounding nations insult us;they laugh at us and mock us.
