Salmos 79

How Long, O Lord?

A Psalm of #Ps. 50, titleAsaph.

1 O God, *Lam. 1:10the nations have come into your *Ex. 15:17;See Ps. 74:2inheritance;

they have defiled your *[Ps. 74:7] holy temple;

they have *Jer. 26:18;Mic. 3:12;[2 Kgs. 25:9,10]; 2 Chr. 36:19laid Jerusalem in ruins.

2 They have given *Deut. 28:26;Jer. 7:33;16:4;19:7;34:20the bodies of your servants

to the birds of the heavens for food,

the flesh of your *See Ps. 50:5faithful to *Ps. 74:19the beasts of the earth.

3 They have poured out their blood like water

all around Jerusalem,

and there was *Jer. 14:16;[2 Kgs. 9:10]no one to bury them.

4 We have become *Dan. 9:16;See Ps. 44:13a taunt to our neighbors,

*Dan. 9:16;See Ps. 44:13mocked and derided by those around us.

5 *[Ps. 74:10;80:4] How long, O Lord? Will you be angry *[Ps. 74:1;85:5]; See Ps. 13:1forever?

Will your *Ps. 78:58jealousy *Ps. 78:21;89:46burn like fire?

6 *Cited Jer. 10:25;[Zeph. 3:8] Pour out your anger on the nations

that *2 Thess. 1:8do not know you,

and on the kingdoms

that *See Ps. 14:4do not call upon your name!

7 For they have devoured Jacob

and laid waste his habitation.

8 *Isa. 64:9Do not remember against us *Jer. 11:10our former iniquities;*79:8 Or the iniquities of former generations

let your compassion come speedily to meet us,

for we are *Ps. 116:6;142:6brought very low.

9 *2 Chr. 14:11Help us, O God of our salvation,

for the glory of your name;

deliver us, and *See Ps. 65:3atone for our sins,

for your *Jer. 14:7,21;See Ps. 23:3name’s sake!

10 *See Ps. 42:3Why should the nations say,

"Where is their God?"

Let *See Ps. 94:1the avenging of the outpoured blood of your servants

be known among the nations before our eyes!

11 Let *Ps. 102:20the groans of the prisoners come before you;

according to your great power, preserve those *[1 Sam. 20:31]doomed to die!

12 Return *Gen. 4:15,24;Lev. 26:21,28;Prov. 6:31sevenfold into the *Isa. 65:6,7;Jer. 32:18lap of our neighbors

the *See Ps. 74:10taunts with which they have taunted you, O Lord!

13 But we your people, the *See Ps. 74:1sheep of your pasture,

will *Isa. 43:21give thanks to you forever;

from generation to generation we will recount your praise.
