¹ O God, ^(b)the nations have come into your ^(c)inheritance;
    they have defiled your ^(d)holy temple;
    they have ^(e)laid Jerusalem in ruins.
² They have given ^(f)the bodies of your servants
    to the birds of the heavens for food,
    the flesh of your ^(g)faithful to ^(h)the beasts of the earth.
³ They have poured out their blood like water
    all around Jerusalem,
    and there was ⁽ⁱ⁾no one to bury them.
⁴ We have become ^(j)a taunt to our neighbors,
    ^(k)mocked and derided by those around us.

^5 (l)How long, O Lord? Will you be angry ^(m)forever?
    Will your ⁽ⁿ⁾jealousy ^(o)burn like fire?
^6 (p)Pour out your anger on the nations
    that ^(q)do not know you,
and on the kingdoms
    that ^(r)do not call upon your name!
⁷ For they have devoured Jacob
    and laid waste his habitation.

^8 (s)Do not remember against us ^(t)our former iniquities;^[a]
    let your compassion come speedily to meet us,
    for we are ^(u)brought very low.
^9 (v)Help us, O God of our salvation,
    for the glory of your name;
deliver us, and ^(w)atone for our sins,
    for your ^(x)name's sake!
^10 (y)Why should the nations say,
    "Where is their God?"
Let ^(z)the avenging of the outpoured blood of your servants
    be known among the nations before our eyes!

¹¹ Let ^(aa)the groans of the prisoners come before you;
    according to your great power, preserve those ^(ab)doomed to die!
¹² Return ^(ac)sevenfold into the ^(ad)lap of our neighbors
    the ^(ae)taunts with which they have taunted you, O Lord!
¹³ But we your people, the ^(af)sheep of your pasture,
    will ^(ag)give thanks to you forever;
    from generation to generation we will recount your praise.
