1 God, the nations have come into your inheritance.They have defiled your holy temple.They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.
2 They have given the dead bodies of your servants to be food for the birds of the sky,the flesh of your holy ones to the animals of the earth.
3 Their blood they have shed like water around Jerusalem.There was no one to bury them.
4 We have become a reproach to our neighbors,a scoffing 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 don’t know you;on the kingdoms that don’t call on your name;
