O God, the heathen are come into
Thine inheritance;
They have defiled Thy holy temple;
They have made Jerusalem into heaps.
They have given the dead bodies of
Thy servants to be food unto the
fowls of the heaven,
The flesh of Thy saints unto the beasts
of the earth.
They have shed their blood like water
Round about Jerusalem, with none to
bury them.
We are become a taunt to our
neighbours,
A scorn and derision to them that are
round about us.

How long, O Lord, wilt Thou be angry
for ever?
How long will Thy jealousy burn like
fire?
Pour out Thy wrath upon the nations
that know Thee not,
And upon the kingdoms that call not
upon Thy name.
For they have devoured Jacob,
And laid waste his habitation.
Remember not against us the iniquities
of our forefathers;
Let Thy compassions speedily come to
meet us;
For we are brought very low.

Help us, O God of our salvation, for
the sake of the glory of Thy name;
And deliver us, and forgive our sins,
for Thy name's sake.
Wherefore should the nations say:
" Where is their God?"
Let the avenging of Thy servants'
blood that is shed
Be made known among the nations in
our sight.
Let the groaning of the prisoner come
before Thee;
According to the greatness of Thy
power set free those that are
appointed to death;
And render unto our neighbours
sevenfold into their bosom
Their reproach, wherewith they have
reproached Thee, O Lord.
So we that are Thy people and the
flock of Thy pasture
Will give Thee thanks for ever;
We will tell of Thy praise to all
