Psalms 79
1(A Mizmor.Of Asaph) 1 Thy Heikhal Kodesh have they defiled; 1 they have reduced Yerushalayim to rubble. 1
2The dead bodies of Thy avadim have they given 1 to be food unto the oph HaShomayim, 1 the basar of Thy Chasidim, unto the beasts of the earth. 1
3Their shefach dahm (shedding of blood) is like mayim all around Yerushalayim; 1 and there is none to bury them. 1
4We are become a reproach to our shekhenim (neighbors), 1 a scorn and derision to them that are around us. 1
5How long, Hashem? Wilt Thou be angry lanetzach (forever)? 1 Shall Thy kina (jealousy) burn like eish? 1
6Pour out Thy wrath upon the Goyim 1 that have no da'as of Thee, 1 and upon the mamlachot 1 that have not called upon Thy Shem. 1
7For they have devoured Ya'akov, 1 and laid waste his naveh (home). 1
8O remember not against us avonot rishonim (former iniquities); 1 let Thy rachamim speedily come to us; 1 for we are brought very low. 1
9Help us, O Elohei Yisheinu, (G-d of our salvation), 1 for the kavod of Thy Shem; 1 and deliver us, and make kapporah for our sins, 1 for Thy Nameʼs sake. 1
10Why should the Goyim say, Where is Eloheihem? 1 Let there be known among the Goyim in our sight, 1 vengeance for the shefach dahm of Thy avadim. 1
11Let the groaning of the asir (prisoner) come before Thee; 1 according to the greatness of Thy Zero'a 1 preserve Thou those that are Bnei Temutah (sons of death); + 79:11 i.e., appointed to die, doomed to die 1
12And repay unto our shekhenim (neighbors) sevenfold into their kheyk 1 their reproach, wherewith they have reproached Thee, Adonoi. 1
13So we Thy people and tzon of Thy pasture 1 will give Thee thanks l'olam (forever); 1 we will show forth Thy praise l'dor vador.
