#temple defiled

How Long, O Lord?

A Psalm of Asaph.

1 O god, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.

2 The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.

3 Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.

4 We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.

5 How long, Lord? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?

6 Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.

7 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.

8 O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.

9 Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake.

10 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed.

11 Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die;

12 And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.

13 So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will shew forth thy praise to all generations. — Psalm 79 | King James Version (KJV) The King James Version Bible is in the public domain.

المزمور الثاسع والسبعون

مزموٌر. لآساف

١ اللهمَّ ان الامم قد دخلوا ميراثك. نجسوا هيكل قدسك. جعلوا اورشليم اكواماً.

٢ دفعوا جثث عبيدك طعاماً لطيور السماءِ. لحم اتقيائك لوحوش الارض.

٣ سفكوا دمهم كالماء حول اورشليم وليس مَنْ يدفن.

٤ صرنا عارًا عند جيراننا هزأً وسخرةً للذين حولنا.

٥ الى متي يا رب تغضب كل الغضب وتتقد كالنار غيرتك.

٦ افِض رجزك على الامم الذين لا يعرفونك وعلى الممالك التي لم تدعُ باسمك.

٧ لانهم قد اكلوا يعقوب واخربوا مسكنهُ

٨ لا تذكر علينا ذنوب الاَّولين. لتتقدمنا مراحمك سريعًا لاننا قد تذللنا جدًّا.

٩ أَعنَّا يا اله خلاصنا من اجل مجد اسمك ونجنا واغفر خطايانا من اجل اسمك.

١٠ لماذا يقول الامم اين هو الههم. لتُعرَف عند الامم قدام اعيننا نقمة دم عبيدك المهراق.

١١ ليدخل قدامك انين الاسير. كعظمة ذراعك استبقِ بني الموت.

١٢ ورُدَّ على جيراننا سبعة اضعافٍ في احضانهم العار الذي عيروك بهِ يا رب.

١٣ اما نحن شعبك وغنم رعيتك نحمدك الى الدهر. الى دورٍ فدور نحدث بتسبيحك

(1 O God, the nations have invaded your inheritance;    they have defiled your holy temple,    they have reduced Jerusalem to rubble. 2 They have left the dead bodies of your servants    as food for the birds of the sky,    the flesh of your own people for the animals of the wild. 3 They have poured out blood like water    all around Jerusalem,    and there is no one to bury the dead. 4 We are objects of contempt to our neighbors,    of scorn and derision to those around us.

5 How long, Lord? Will you be angry forever?    How long will your jealousy burn 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 devastated his homeland.

8 Do not hold against us the sins of past generations;    may your mercy come quickly to meet us,    for we are in desperate need. 9 Help us, God our Savior,    for the glory of your name; deliver us and forgive our sins    for your name’s sake. 10 Why should the nations say,    “Where is their God?”
