Psalm 79:1-4

Tree of Life Version

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.
