Psalm 79:1-4
View Full ChapterPsalm 79 1A psalm of Asaph. O God, the nations have invaded your inheritance; they have defiled your holy temple, they have reduced Jerusalem to rubble.
2They have left the dead bodies of your servants as food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your own people for the animals of the wild.
3They have poured out blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there is no one to bury the dead.
4We are objects of contempt to our neighbors, of scorn and derision to those around us.
