## 📜 Scripture Text (NET)
(The NET Bible: New English Translation. Biblical Studies Press, 2005)
#### A psalm of Asaph.
[[#Verse 01.]] O God, foreigners have invaded your chosen land;
they have polluted your holy temple
and turned Jerusalem into a heap of ruins.
[[#Verse 02.]] They have given the corpses of your servants
to the birds of the sky,
the flesh of your loyal followers
to the beasts of the earth.
[[#Verse 03.]] They have made their blood flow like water
all around Jerusalem, and there is no one to bury them.
[[#Verse 04.]] We have become an object of disdain to our neighbors;
those who live on our borders taunt and insult us.
[[#Verse 05.]] How long will this go on, O Lord?
Will you stay angry forever?
How long will your rage burn like fire?
[[#Verse 06.]] Pour out your anger on the nations that do not acknowledge you,
on the kingdoms that do not pray to you.
[[#Verse 07.]] For they have devoured Jacob
and destroyed his home.
[[#Verse 08.]] Do not hold us accountable for the sins of earlier generations.
Quickly send your compassion our way,
for we are in serious trouble.
[[#Verse 09.]] Help us, O God, our deliverer!
For the sake of your glorious reputation, rescue us.
Forgive our sins for the sake of your reputation.
[[#Verse 10.]] Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”
Before our very eyes may the shed blood of your servants
be avenged among the nations.
[[#Verse 11.]] Listen to the painful cries of the prisoners.
Use your great strength to set free those condemned to die.
[[#Verse 12.]] Pay back our neighbors in full.
May they be insulted the same way they insulted you, O Lord.
[[#Verse 13.]] Then we, your people, the sheep of your pasture,
will continually thank you. We will tell coming generations of your praiseworthy acts.
