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!
7 For they have devoured Jacoband destroyed his home.
8 Do not hold us accountable for the sins of earlier generations!Quickly send your compassion our way,for we are in serious trouble!
9 Help us, O God, our deliverer!For the sake of your glorious reputation, rescue us!Forgive our sins for the sake of your reputation!
