Psalm 79

Name: M      F

From God To Me      From Me To God

1 The have come into inheritance; they have defiled holy temple; they have laid Jerusalem in heaps.

2 They have given the dead bodies of servants to be for the of the , the flesh of saints to the of the earth.

3 Their blood they have shed like water around Jerusalem; and there was no one to bury them.

4  have become a reproach to neighbors, a and derision to those who are around .

5 How long, Lord? you ask. Will be angry forever? Will jealousy burn like fire?

6 pour out wrath on the that do not know ; on the kingdoms that on name;

7 For they have devoured , and .

8  ; let tender mercies speedily meet , for are in desperate need.

9 I, the God of your salvation, will help , God of our salvation, for the glory of name; deliver , and forgive sins, for name’s sake.

10 Why should the say, “Where is their God?” let it be known among the that vengeance for servants’ blood is being poured out.

11 let the sighing of the prisoner come before ; according to the greatness of power preserve those who are .

12  to neighbors seven times into their bosom their reproach with which they have reproached .

13 So , people and sheep of pasture, will give thanks forever; will to all generations.
