¹ O God, the ^(a)nations have ^[a]invaded ^(b)Your inheritance;
They have defiled Your ^(c)holy temple;
They have ^(d)laid Jerusalem in ruins.
² They have given the ^(e)dead bodies of Your servants for food to the birds of the heavens,
The flesh of Your godly ones to the beasts of the earth.
³ They have poured out their blood like water round about Jerusalem;
And there was ^(f)no one to bury them.
⁴ We have become a ^(g)reproach to our neighbors,
A scoffing and derision to those around us.
^5 (h)How long, O Lord? Will You be angry forever?
Will Your ⁽ⁱ⁾jealousy ^(j)burn like fire?
^6 (k)Pour out Your wrath upon the nations which ^(l)do not know You,
And upon the kingdoms which ^(m)do not call upon Your name.
⁷ For they have ⁽ⁿ⁾devoured Jacob
And ^(o)laid waste his ^[b]habitation.

^8 (p)Do not remember ^[c]the iniquities of our forefathers against us;
Let Your compassion come quickly to ^(q)meet us,
For we are ^(r)brought very low.
^9 (s)Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of ^(t)Your name;
And deliver us and ^[d](u)forgive our sins ^(v)for Your name's sake.
^10 (w)Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?"
Let there be known among the nations in our sight,
^(x)Vengeance for the blood of Your servants which has been shed.
¹¹ Let ^(y)the groaning of the prisoner come before You;
According to the greatness of Your ^[e]power preserve ^[f]those who are ^(z)doomed to die.
¹² And return to our neighbors ^(aa)sevenfold ^(ab)into their bosom
^[g]The ^(ac)reproach with which they have reproached You, O Lord.
¹³ So we Your people and the ^(ad)sheep of Your ^[h]pasture
Will ^(ae)give thanks to You forever;
To all generations we will ^(af)tell of Your praise.
