1. A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the heathen have come into thy inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.
2. The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be food to the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints, to the beasts of the earth.
3. Their blood have they shed like water around Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.
4. We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to them that are around us.
5. How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?
