1. O God, the nations have come into Your inheritance;Your holy temple they have defiled;they have laid Jerusalem in ruins.
2. The dead bodies of Your servantsthey have given to the birds of the sky for foodand the flesh of Your faithful to the animals of the land.
3. Their blood they have poured out like waterall around Jerusalem,and there was no one to bury them.
4. We have become a reproach to our neighbors,a scorn and derision to those who are around us.
5. How long, O Lord? Will You be angry forever?Will Your jealousy burn like fire?
