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.
8 Do not choose to remember our former iniquities;let Your tender mercies come swiftly to us,for we are brought very low.
9 Help us, O God of our salvation,for the glory of Your name;deliver us, and purge away our sins,for Your name’s sake.
