1 O God, foreigners have invaded your chosen land;they have polluted your holy templeand turned Jerusalem into a heap of ruins.
2 They have given the corpses of your servantsto the birds of the sky;the flesh of your loyal followersto the beasts of the earth.
3 They have made their blood flow like waterall around Jerusalem, and there is no one to bury them.
4 We have become an object of disdain to our neighbors;those who live on our borders taunt and insult us.
5 How long will this go on, O Lord?Will you stay angry forever?How long will your rage burn like fire?
6 Pour out your anger on the nations that do not acknowledge you,on the kingdoms that do not pray to you!
