1 O God, the nations have come into Your inheritance;Your holy temple they have defiled;they have laid Jerusalem in ruins.
2 The dead bodies of Your servantsthey have given to the birds of the sky for foodand the flesh of Your faithful to the animals of the land.
3 Their blood they have poured out like waterall around Jerusalem,and there was no one to bury them.
4 We have become a reproach to our neighbors,a scorn and derision to those who are around us.
5 How long, O Lord? Will You be angry forever?Will Your jealousy burn like fire?
6 Pour out Your wrathupon the nations who do not know You,and upon the kingdomswho have not called upon Your name.
7 For they have devoured Jacob,and laid waste his dwelling place.
