  Speaker 1: Psalm 79 A Psalm by Asaph God, the nations have
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: come into your inheritance. They have defiled your holy temple.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: They have laid Jerusalem in heaps. They have given the
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: dead bodies of your servants to be food for the
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: birds of the sky, the flesh of your saints to
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: the animals of the earth. Their blood they have shed
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: like water around Jerusalem. There was no one to bury them.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: and a derision to those who are around us. How long, Yahweh?
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire?
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Pour out your wrath on the nations that don't know you,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: on the kingdoms that don't call on your name, for
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: they have devoured Jacob and destroyed his homeland. Don't hold
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: the iniquities of our forefathers against us. Let your tender
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: mercy speedily meet us, for we are in desperate need.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: your name. Deliver us and forgive our sins for your
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: name's sake. Why should the nation say, Where is their God?
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Let it be known among the nations before our eyes
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: that vengeance for your servant's blood is being poured out.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Let the sighing of the prisoner come before you according
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: to the greatness of your power. Preserve those who are
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: sentenced to death. Pay back to our neighbors seven times
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: into their bosom their reproach with which they have reproached you, Lord.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: So we, your people and sheep of your pasture, will
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: give you thanks forever. We will praise you forever to
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: all generations.
