Tehillim 79
79
(A Mizmor.Of Asaph)
1O Elohim, the Goyim are come into Thine Nachalah; Thy Heikhal Kodesh have they defiled; they have reduced Yerushalayim to rubble.
2The dead bodies of Thy avadim have they given to be food unto the oph HaShomayim, the basar of Thy Chasidim, unto the beasts of the earth.
3Their shefach dahm (shedding of blood) is like mayim all around Yerushalayim; and there is none to bury them.
4We are become a reproach to our shekhenim (neighbors), a scorn and derision to them that are around us.
5How long, Hashem? Wilt Thou be angry lanetzach (forever)? Shall Thy kina (jealousy) burn like eish?
6Pour out Thy wrath upon the Goyim that have no da'as of Thee, and upon the mamlachot that have not called upon Thy Shem.
7For they have devoured Ya'akov, and laid waste his naveh (home).
8O remember not against us avonot rishonim (former iniquities); let Thy rachamim speedily come to us; for we are brought very low.
9Help us, O Elohei Yisheinu, (G-d of our salvation), for the kavod of Thy Shem; and deliver us, and make kapporah for our sins, for Thy Nameʼs sake.
10Why should the Goyim say, Where is Eloheihem? Let there be known among the Goyim in our sight, vengeance for the shefach dahm of Thy avadim.
11Let the groaning of the asir (prisoner) come before Thee; according to the greatness of Thy Zero'a preserve Thou those that are Bnei Temutah (sons of death);#79:11 i.e., appointed to die, doomed to die
12And repay unto our shekhenim (neighbors) sevenfold into their kheyk their reproach, wherewith they have reproached Thee, Adonoi.
13So we Thy people and tzon of Thy pasture will give Thee thanks l'olam (forever); we will show forth Thy praise l'dor vador.

Psalm 79
79
How Long, O Lord?
A Psalm of #Ps. 50, titleAsaph.
1O God, #Lam. 1:10 the nations have come into your #Ex. 15:17; See Ps. 74:2 inheritance;
they have defiled your #[Ps. 74:7] holy temple;
they have #Jer. 26:18; Mic. 3:12; [2 Kgs. 25:9, 10]; 2 Chr. 36:19laid Jerusalem in ruins.
2They have given #Deut. 28:26; Jer. 7:33; 16:4; 19:7; 34:20 the bodies of your servants
to the birds of the heavens for food,
the flesh of your #See Ps. 50:5 faithful to #Ps. 74:19the beasts of the earth.
3They have poured out their blood like water
all around Jerusalem,
and there was #Jer. 14:16; [2 Kgs. 9:10]no one to bury them.
4We have become #Dan. 9:16; See Ps. 44:13a taunt to our neighbors,
#
Dan. 9:16; See Ps. 44:13 mocked and derided by those around us.
5 # [Ps. 74:10; 80:4] How long, O Lord? Will you be angry #[Ps. 74:1; 85:5]; See Ps. 13:1 forever?
Will your #Ps. 78:58 jealousy #Ps. 78:21; 89:46burn like fire?
6 # Cited Jer. 10:25; [Zeph. 3:8] Pour out your anger on the nations
that #2 Thess. 1:8 do not know you,
and on the kingdoms
that #See Ps. 14:4do not call upon your name!
7For they have devoured Jacob
and laid waste his habitation.
8 #
Isa. 64:9 Do not remember against us #Jer. 11:10 our former iniquities;#79:8 Or the iniquities of former generations
let your compassion come speedily to meet us,
for we are #Ps. 116:6; 142:6brought very low.
9 #
2 Chr. 14:11 Help us, O God of our salvation,
for the glory of your name;
deliver us, and #See Ps. 65:3 atone for our sins,
for your #Jer. 14:7, 21; See Ps. 23:3name’s sake!
10 # See Ps. 42:3 Why should the nations say,
“Where is their God?”
Let #See Ps. 94:1the avenging of the outpoured blood of your servants
be known among the nations before our eyes!
11Let #Ps. 102:20 the groans of the prisoners come before you;
according to your great power, preserve those #[1 Sam. 20:31]doomed to die!
12Return #Gen. 4:15, 24; Lev. 26:21, 28; Prov. 6:31 sevenfold into the #Isa. 65:6, 7; Jer. 32:18 lap of our neighbors
the #See Ps. 74:10taunts with which they have taunted you, O Lord!
13But we your people, the #See Ps. 74:1 sheep of your pasture,
will #Isa. 43:21give thanks to you forever;
from generation to generation we will recount your praise.
