1 A Psalm. Of Asaph. O God, the nations have come into your heritage; they have made your holy Temple unclean; they have made Jerusalem a mass of broken walls.
2 They have given the bodies of your servants as food to the birds of the air, and the flesh of your saints to the beasts of the earth.
3 Their blood has been flowing like water round about Jerusalem; there was no one to put them in their last resting-place.
4 We are looked down on by our neighbours, we are laughed at and made sport of by those who are round us.
5 How long, O Lord? will you be angry for ever? will your wrath go on burning like fire?
6 Let your wrath be on the nations who have no knowledge of you, and on the kingdoms who have not made prayer to your name.
7 For they have taken Jacob for their meat, and made waste his house.
8 Do not keep in mind against us the sins of our fathers; let your mercy come to us quickly, for we have been made very low.
9 Give us help, O God of our salvation, for the glory of your name; take us out of danger and give us forgiveness for our sins, because of your name.
10 Why may the nations say, Where is their God? Let payment for the blood of your servants be made openly among the nations before our eyes.
11 Let the cry of the prisoner come before you; with your strong arm make free the children of death;
12 And give punishment seven times over into the breast of our neighbours for the bitter words which they have said against you, O Lord.
13 So we your people, and the sheep of your flock, will give you glory for ever: we will go on praising you through all generations.
1 神啊！ 外族人侵入你的产业， 污秽了你的圣殿， 使耶路撒冷成为废墟。（本节在《马索拉抄本》包括细字标题）
2 他们把你仆人的尸首， 给空中的飞鸟啄食； 把你圣民的肉， 给地上的野兽吞噬。
3 他们在耶路撒冷的周围把圣民的血像水一般倒出， 没有人埋葬他们。
4 我们成为邻国羞辱的对象， 成为四周的人嗤笑和讥刺的目标。
5 耶和华啊！ 要到几时呢？你要永远怀怒吗？你的愤恨要像火焚烧吗？
6 愿你把你的烈怒， 倾倒在不认识你的外族人， 和不求告你名的列国身上。
7 因为他们吞吃了雅各， 使他的住处荒凉。
8 求你不要记住我们祖先的罪孽； 愿你的怜悯快快临到我们， 因为我们落到极卑微的地步。
9 拯救我们的 神啊！ 求你因你名的荣耀帮助我们； 为你名的缘故， 搭救我们， 赦免我们的罪。
10 为什么容外族人说： "他们的 神在哪里呢？"愿我们亲眼看见你在列邦中， 使人知道你要为你仆人所流的血伸冤。
11 愿被囚的人的唉哼， 达到你面前； 愿你用你的大能， 使那些已定死罪的人可以存留。
12 主啊！ 愿你把我们邻国羞辱你的羞辱， 七倍归还在他们身上。
13 这样， 我们作你的子民， 作你牧场上的羊的， 要永远称谢你； 我们要世世代代述说你可称颂的事。
