2 They have given the bodies of your servantsas food to the wild birds.They have given the bodies of those who worship youto the wild animals.
3 They have spilled blood like waterall around Jerusalem.No one was left to bury the dead.
4 We are a bad joke to the other nations.They laugh and make fun of us.
5 Lord, how long will this last? Will you be angry forever?How long will your jealousy burn like a fire?
6 Be angry with the nations that do not know you.Be angry with the kingdoms that do not honor you.
7 They have destroyed the people of Jacob.Those nations have destroyed the people’s land.
8 Don’t punish us for the sins of our ancestors.Show your mercy to us soon.We are helpless!
