have they
defiled
; they have laid
Jerusalem on
heaps
.
A

holy

reduced
Jerusalem to

servants have
they
given
to be

unto
the fowls
of the heaven
, the flesh of thy
saints unto
the beasts of the earth.

have
given
the corpses
of Your
servants as
food
to the birds
of the air

the beasts of the earth.

they
shed
like water round
about
Jerusalem ;
and there was
none
to bury them
.

become a reproach to our neighbours
, a scorn and derision to them
that
are
round
about
us.

How long, LORD? wilt
thou
be angry for
ever
? shall
thy
jealousy burn like fire?

called
upon
thy
name .

his dwelling
place

O
remember
not against us former
iniquities:
let thy
tender
mercies
speedily
prevent
us:
for we are brought very
low.

not hold
past
sins
against us ;

and purge
away
our sins, for thy
name's
sake.

should the heathen
say

him
be
known among the heathen
in
our
sight
by
the
revenging
of
the blood
of thy
servants which
is
shed
.
Why
should the nations
ask
, “
Where is their God? ”

our
eyes,
make
known among the nations
Your
vengeance
for
the bloodshed
of Your
servants.
Let
the sighing
of the prisoner
come
before
thee
; according
to
the greatness
of thy
power
preserve thou
those that
are
appointed
to die;
May
the groans
of the captives
reach
You
; by
the strength
of Your
arm
preserve those condemned
to death.
And
render
unto
our neighbours
sevenfold into
their
bosom
their
reproach ,
wherewith
they have
reproached
thee
, O Lord.

back
into
the
laps
of
our neighbors
sevenfold the
reproach they hurled
at
You
, O Lord.
So
we thy
people and
sheep of thy
pasture will give
thee
thanks
for
ever:
we will shew
forth
thy
praise to
all
generations
.
Then
we Your
people ,
the
sheep of Your
pasture ,
will thank
You
forever;
from
generation
to
generation
we will declare
Your
praise.
