Psalms 79

1 The psalmist complaineth of the desolation of Jerusalem. 8 He prayeth for deliverance, 13 and promiseth thankfulness.

 79:1 ¶ [[A Psalm 4210 of Asaph.]] 623 O God, 430 the heathen 1471 are come 935 z8804 into thine inheritance; 5159 x853 thy holy 6944 temple 1964 have they defiled; 2930 z8765 they have laid 7760 z8804 x853 Jerusalem 3389 on heaps. 5856

 79:2 x853 The dead bodies 5038 of thy servants 5650 have they given 5414 z8804 [to be] meat 3978 unto the fowls 5775 of the heaven, 8064 the flesh 1320 of thy saints 2623 unto the beasts 2416 of the earth. 776

 79:3 Their blood 1818 have they shed 8210 z8804 like water 4325 round about 5439 Jerusalem; 3389 and [there was] none x369 to bury 6912 z8802 [them].

 79:4 We are become x1961 a reproach 2781 to our neighbours, 7934 a scorn 3933 and derision 7047 to them that are round about 5439 us.

 79:5 How long, x5704 x4100 LORD? 3068 wilt thou be angry 599 z8799 for ever? 5331 shall thy jealousy 7068 burn 1197 z8799 like x3644 fire? 784

 79:6 Pour out 8210 z8798 thy wrath 2534 upon x413 the heathen 1471 that x834 have not x3808 known 3045 z8804 thee, and upon x5921 the kingdoms 4467 that x834 have not x408 called 7121 z8804 upon thy name. 8034

 79:7 For x3588 they have devoured 398 z8804 x853 Jacob, 3290 and laid waste 8074 z8689 his dwelling place. 5116

 79:8 O remember 2142 z8799 not x408 against us former 7223 iniquities: 5771 let thy tender mercies 7356 speedily y4118 x4116 prevent 6923 z8762 us: for x3588 we are brought y1809 z0 very y3966 low. 1809 z8804 x3966

 79:9 Help 5826 z8798 us, O God 430 of our salvation, 3468 for 1697 x5921 the glory 3519 of thy name: 8034 and deliver 5337 z8685 us, and purge away 3722 z8761 x5921 our sins, 2403 for thy name's y8034 sake. x4616 x8034

 79:10 Wherefore x4100 should the heathen 1471 say, 559 z8799 Where x346 [is] their God? 430 let him be known 3045 z8735 among the heathen 1471 in our sight 5869 [by] the revenging 5360 of the blood 1818 of thy servants 5650 [which is] shed. 8210 z8803

 79:11 Let the sighing 603 of the prisoner 615 come 935 z8799 before 6440 thee; according to the greatness 1433 of thy power 2220 preserve 3498 z8685 thou those that are appointed 1121 to die; 8546

 79:12 And render 7725 z8685 unto our neighbours 7934 sevenfold 7659 into x413 their bosom 2436 their reproach, 2781 wherewith x834 they have reproached 2778 z8765 thee, O Lord. 136

 79:13 So we x587 thy people 5971 and sheep 6629 of thy pasture 4830 will give thee thanks 3034 z8686 for ever: 5769 we will shew forth 5608 z8762 thy praise 8416 to all y1755 generations. 1755
