Psalms 79 — Context

O God, the nations have invaded Your inheritance; They have defiled Your holy temple; They have laid Jerusalem in ruins.

They have given the dead bodies of Your servants for food to the birds of the heavens, The flesh of Your godly ones to the beasts of the earth.

They have poured out their blood like water round about Jerusalem; And there was no one to bury them.

We have become a reproach to our neighbors, A scoffing and derision to those around us.

How long, O LORD? Will You be angry forever? Will Your jealousy burn like fire?

Pour out Your wrath upon the nations which do not know You, And upon the kingdoms which do not call upon Your name.
