1
Psalm
of
Asaph.
O
God,
the
heathen
are
come
into
thine
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]
meat
unto
the
fowls
of
the
heaven,
the
flesh
of
thy
saints
unto
the
beasts
of
the
earth.
3
Their
blood
have
they
shed
like
water
round
about
Jerusalem;
and
[there
was]
none
to
bury
[them].
4
We
are
become
a
reproach
to
our
neighbours,
a
scorn
and
derision
to
them
that
are
round
about
5
How
long,
LORD?
wilt
thou
be
angry
for
ever?
shall
thy
jealousy
burn
like
fire?
6
Pour
out
thy
wrath
upon
the
heathen
that
have
not
known
thee,
and
upon
the
kingdoms
that
have
not
called
upon
thy
name.
7
For
they
have
devoured
Jacob,
and
laid
waste
his
dwelling
place.
8
O
remember
not
against
us
former
iniquities:
let
thy
tender
mercies
speedily
prevent
us:
for
we
are
brought
very
low.
9
Help
us,
O
God
of
our
salvation,
for
the
glory
of
thy
name:
and
deliver
us,
and
purge
away
our
sins,
for
thy
name’s
sake.
10
Wherefore
should
the
heathen
say,
Where
[is]
their
God?
let
him
be
known
among
the
heathen
in
our
sight
[by]
the
revenging
of
the
blood
of
thy
servants
[which
is]
shed.
11
Let
the
sighing
of
the
prisoner
come
before
thee;
according
to
the
greatness
of
thy
power
preserve
thou
those
that
are
appointed
to
die;
12
And
render
unto
our
neighbours
sevenfold
into
their
bosom
their
reproach,
wherewith
they
have
reproached
thee,
O
Lord.
13
So
we
thy
people
and
sheep
of
thy
pasture
will
give
thee
thanks
for
ever:
we
will
shew
forth
thy
praise
to
all
generations.
