2They have given the dead bodies of your servants
as food to the birds of the air,
the flesh of your saints to the beasts of the earth.

3They have poured out blood like water
all around Jerusalem,
and there is no one to bury the dead.

4We are objects of reproach to our neighbors,
of scorn and derision to those around us.

5How long, O LORD? Will you be angry forever?
How long will your jealousy burn like fire?

6Pour out your wrath on the nations
that do not acknowledge you,
on the kingdoms
that do not call on your name;

7for they have devoured Jacob
and destroyed his homeland.

8Do not hold against us the sins of the fathers;
may your mercy come quickly to meet us,
for we are in desperate need.

9Help us, O God our Savior,
for the glory of your name;
deliver us and forgive our sins
for your name's sake.

10Why should the nations say,
“Where is their God?”
Before our eyes, make known among the nations
that you avenge the outpoured blood of your servants.

11May the groans of the prisoners come before you;
by the strength of your arm
preserve those condemned to die.

12Pay back into the laps of our neighbors seven times
the reproach they have hurled at you, O Lord.
