1 O God, the nations have come into Your inheritance;Your holy temple they have defiled;They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.
2 The dead bodies of Your servantsThey have given as food for the birds of the heavens,The flesh of Your saints to the beasts of the earth.
3 Their blood they have shed like water all 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.
