God, the nations have invaded your inheritance, defiled your holy temple.
They have laid Jerusalem in ruins.
They have given the dead bodies of your servants for food to the birds of the air,
your saints' flesh to the beasts of the earth.
They have poured out their blood just like water all around Jerusalem.
There was not even one to bury them.
We've become a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and derision all around.
How long, O Lord, is your anger forever?
Will your jealousy burn like a fire?
How long, O Lord, how long will your anger last forever?
Pour wrath upon the nations which don't know you, on kingdoms never calling on
your name, eating Jacob and laying waste his dwelling.
Don't remember all our fathers' sins against us.
Let your deepest heart now run to us.
For we have been brought very low.
Give help to us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of your holy name.
Forgive sins and save for your name's sake.
Why should people say, where is their God?
Make it known among the nations in our sight.
Vengeance for the blood, the blood of your servants, which has by them been shed.
How long, O Lord, how long will your anger last forever?
Let the groaning of the captives come before you according to the greatness of
your power.
Reserve those who are now doomed to die.
Repay our neighbors sevenfold within them the reproaches they have scorned you with,
O Lord.
But let your people and pasture sheep give thanks forever.
And to every generation tell your praise.
Oh, let us give thanks forever.
Hallelujah, let us give thanks forever.
Let's give thanks forever, hallelujah Let's give thanks forever, hallelujah
