1  O GOD, the heathen are come into thine inheritance : thy holy temple have they defiled, and made Jerusalem an heap of stones.

2  The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the air : and the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the land.

 . Their blood have they shed like water on every side of Jerusalem : and there was no man to bury them.

4  We are become an open shame to our enemies : a very scorn and derision unto them that are round about us.

5  Lord, how long wilt thou be angry : shall thy jealousy burn like fire for ever?

6  Pour out thine indignation 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 our old sins, but have mercy upon us, and that soon : for we are come to great misery.

9  Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy Name : O deliver us, and be merciful unto our sins, for thy Name's sake.

10  Wherefore do the heathen say : Where is now their God?

11  O let the vengeance of thy servants' blood that is shed : be openly shewed upon the heathen in our sight.

12  O let the sorrowful sighing of the prisoners come before thee : according to the greatness of thy power, preserve thou those that are appointed to die.

13  And for the blasphemy wherewith our neighbours have blasphemed thee : reward thou them , O Lord, seven-fold into their bosom.

14  So we, that are thy people, and sheep of thy asture, shall give thee thanks for ever : and will alway be shewing forth thy praise from generation to generation.
