1 O God, the nations have invaded your inheritance; they have defiled your holy temple, they have reduced Jerusalem to rubble.2 They have given the dead bodies of your servants as food to the birds of the air, the flesh of your saints to the beasts of the earth.3 They have poured out blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there is no one to bury the dead.4 We are objects of reproach to our neighbors, of scorn and derision to those around us.5 How long, O LORD? Will you be angry forever? How long will your jealousy burn like fire?6 Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge you, on the kingdoms that do not call on your name;7 for they have devoured Jacob and destroyed his homeland.8 Do not hold against us the sins of the fathers; may your mercy come quickly to meet us, for we are in desperate need.9 Help us, O God our Savior, for the glory of your name; deliver us and forgive our sins for your name's sake.10 Why should the nations say, "Where is their God?" Before our eyes, make known among the nations that you avenge the outpoured blood of your servants.11 May the groans of the prisoners come before you; by the strength of your arm preserve those condemned to die.12 Pay back into the laps of our neighbors seven times the reproach they have hurled at you, O Lord.13 Then we your people, the sheep of your pasture, will praise you forever; from generation to generation we will recount your praise.

1 In finem, pro iis qui commutabuntur. Testimonium Asaph, psalmus. 2 [Qui regis Isral, intende ;qui deducis velut ovem Joseph.Qui sedes super cherubim, manifestare3 coram Ephraim, Benjamin, et Manasse.Excita potentiam tuam, et veni,ut salvos facias nos.4 Deus, converte nos, et ostende faciem tuam,et salvi erimus.5 Domine Deus virtutum,quousque irasceris super orationem servi tui ?6 cibabis nos pane lacrimarum,et potum dabis nobis in lacrimis in mensura ?7 Posuisti nos in contradictionem vicinis nostris,et inimici nostri subsannaverunt nos.8 Deus virtutum, converte nos, et ostende faciem tuam,et salvi erimus.9 Vineam de gypto transtulisti :ejecisti gentes, et plantasti eam.10 Dux itineris fuisti in conspectu ejus ;plantasti radices ejus, et implevit terram.11 Operuit montes umbra ejus,et arbusta ejus cedros Dei.12 Extendit palmites suos usque ad mare,et usque ad flumen propagines ejus.13 Ut quid destruxisti maceriam ejus,et vindemiant eam omnes qui prtergrediuntur viam ?14 Exterminavit eam aper de silva,et singularis ferus depastus est eam.15 Deus virtutum, convertere,respice de clo, et vide,et visita vineam istam :16 et perfice eam quam plantavit dextera tua,et super filium hominis quem confirmasti tibi.17 Incensa igni et suffossa,ab increpatione vultus tui peribunt.18 Fiat manus tua super virum dexter tu,et super filium hominis quem confirmasti tibi.19 Et non discedimus a te :vivificabis nos, et nomen tuum invocabimus.20 Domine Deus virtutum, converte nos, et ostende faciem tuam,et salvi erimus.]
