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,
7 for they have devoured Jacoband devastated his homeland.
8 Do not hold past sins against us;let Your compassion come to us quickly,for we have become weak.
9 God of our salvation, help us —for the glory of Your name.Deliver us and atone for our sins,because of Your name.
