1 A Psalm of Asaph. God, the nations have invaded Your inheritance, defiled Your holy Temple, and reduced Jerusalem to ruins.
2 They gave the carcasses of Your servants as food to the birds of the skies, the flesh of Your kedoshim to the beasts of the earth.
3 They poured out their blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there was no one to bury them.
4 We have become a taunt to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to those around us.
5 How long, Adonai, will You be angry? Forever? Will Your jealousy keep blazing like fire?
6 Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge You, on the kingdoms that do not call on Your name.
7 For they have devoured Jacob and laid waste his country.
