Psalms 79 — TOJB

See Hebrew/Greek in BSB →

79Verse 1(A Mizmor.Of Asaph)1 O Elohim, the Goyim are come into Thine Nachalah;
Thy Heikhal Kodesh have they defiled;
they have reduced Yerushalayim to rubble.
Verse 2The dead bodies of Thy avadim have they given
to be food unto the oph HaShomayim,
the basar of Thy Chasidim, unto the beasts of the earth.
Verse 3Their shefach dahm (shedding of blood) is like mayim all around Yerushalayim;
and there is none to bury them.
Verse 4We are become a reproach to our shekhenim (neighbors),
a scorn and derision to them that are around us.
Verse 5How long, Hashem? Wilt Thou be angry lanetzach (forever)?
Shall Thy kina (jealousy) burn like eish?
Verse 6Pour out Thy wrath upon the Goyim
that have no da'as of Thee,
and upon the mamlachot
that have not called upon Thy Shem.
Verse 7For they have devoured Ya'akov,
and laid waste his naveh (home).
Verse 8O remember not against us avonot rishonim (former iniquities);
let Thy rachamim speedily come to us;
for we are brought very low.
Verse 9Help us, O Elohei Yisheinu, (G-d of our salvation),
for the kavod of Thy Shem;
and deliver us, and make kapporah for our sins,
for Thy Nameʼs sake.
Verse 10Why should the Goyim say, Where is Eloheihem?
Let there be known among the Goyim in our sight,
vengeance for the shefach dahm of Thy avadim.
Verse 11Let the groaning of the asir (prisoner) come before Thee;
according to the greatness of Thy Zero'a
preserve Thou those that are Bnei Temutah (sons of death);+
Verse 12And repay unto our shekhenim (neighbors) sevenfold into their kheyk
their reproach, wherewith they have reproached Thee, Adonoi.
Verse 13So we Thy people and tzon of Thy pasture
will give Thee thanks l'olam (forever);
we will show forth Thy praise l'dor vador.
