1 God, the nations have invaded Your inheritance,desecrated Your holy temple,and turned Jerusalem into ruins.
2 They gave the corpses of Your servantsto the birds of the sky for food,the flesh of Your godly onesto the beasts of the earth.
3 They poured out their bloodlike water all around Jerusalem,and there was no one to bury them.
4 We have become an object of reproachto our neighbors,a source of mockery and ridiculeto those around us.
5 How long, Yahweh? Will You be angry forever?Will Your jealousy keep burning like fire?
6 Pour out Your wrath on the nationsthat don’t acknowledge You,on the kingdoms that don’t call on Your name,
