79Psalms · Contemporary English Version (2006)

¹Our God, foreign nations have taken your land, disgraced your temple, and left Jerusalem in ruins.

²They have fed the bodies of your servants to flesh-eating birds; your loyal people are food for savage animals.

³All Jerusalem is covered with their blood, and there is no one left to bury them.

⁴Every nation around us sneers and makes fun.

⁵Our Lord, will you keep on being angry? Will your angry feelings keep flaming up like fire?

⁶Get angry with those nations that don't know you and won't worship you!

⁷They have gobbled up Jacob's descendants and left the land in ruins.

⁸Don't make us pay for the sins of our ancestors. Have pity and come quickly! We are completely helpless.

⁹Our God, you keep us safe. Now help us! Rescue us. Forgive our sins and bring honor to yourself.

¹⁰Why should nations ask us, “Where is your God?” Let us and the other nations see you take revenge for your servants who died a violent death.

¹¹Listen to the prisoners groan! Let your mighty power save all who are sentenced to die.

¹²Each of those nations sneered at you, our Lord. Now let others sneer at them, seven times as much.

¹³Then we, your people, will always thank you. We are like sheep with you as our shepherd, and all generations will hear us praise you.
