Psalms 79:2-9 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

2. They gave the carcasses of Your servants as food to the birds of the skies, the flesh of Your kedoshim to the beasts of the earth.

3. They poured out their blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there was no one to bury them.

4. We have become a taunt to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to those around us.

5. How long, Adonai, will You be angry? Forever? Will Your jealousy keep blazing like fire?

6. Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge You, on the kingdoms that do not call on Your name.

7. For they have devoured Jacob and laid waste his country.

8. Do not hold against us the sins of our fathers. May Your mercies come quickly to meet us, for we are brought very low.

9. Help us, God of our salvation— for the sake of the glory of Your Name. Deliver us, and atone for our sins— for Your name’s sake.
