Psalm 79

O, God the nations have
 Invaded Your inheritance
 Defiled Your holy temple
 Destroyed Your city
 As food to wild animals
 They were given over
 They poured out blood like water
 Around Jerusalem
 How long?
 How long?
 How long? (How long, how long, O Lord)
 How long? (How long, how long, O Lord)
 We are objects of contempt
 To our neighbors
 A scorn and derision
 To those around us
 Pour upon the enemy
 Who will not acknowledge You
 Your anger on the kingdom
 For they devoured us
 How long? (How long, how long, O Lord)
 How long? (How long, how long, O Lord)
 Do not hold against us
 The sins of the fathers
 May Your mercy quickly come
 For we are in need
 Help us God our Savior
 For the glory of Your name
 Deliver and forgive us
 For Your name's sake
 Why should the nations say
 'Where is their God today?'
 Before our eyes, make known to them
 That You avenge us
 How long, O, Lord
 Will you be angry?
 How long, Lord
 Will Your jealousy burn?
 The groans of the prisoners
 May they come before You
 By the strength of Your arm
 Preserve those condemned to die
 Pay back our enemies
 They're taunting toward You lord
 And lead Your flock, who praise You
 For every
 Every generation
