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.
5 How long, Lord?Will You be angry forever?Will Your jealousy burn like fire?
6 Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not know You,And on the kingdoms that do not call on Your name.
7 For they have devoured Jacob,And laid waste his dwelling place.
8 Oh, do not remember former iniquities against us!Let Your tender mercies come speedily to meet us,For we have been brought very low.
9 Help us, O God of our salvation,For the glory of Your name;And deliver us, and provide atonement for our sins,For Your name’s sake!
