Psalms 79

1 A Psalm of Asaph. The nations, O God, have invaded Your inheritance; they have defiled Your holy temple and reduced Jerusalem to rubble.

1 上帝啊， 外族人侵占你的产业， 玷污你的圣殿， 使耶路撒冷沦为废墟。

2 They have given the corpses of Your servants as food to the birds of the air, the flesh of Your saints to the beasts of the earth.

2 他们把你仆人的尸体喂飞鸟， 把你忠心子民的尸体给野兽吃，

3 They have poured out their blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there is no one to bury the dead.

3 使耶路撒冷周围血流成河， 尸体无人埋葬。

4 We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to those around us.

4 我们成了邻国羞辱的对象， 周围的人都嗤笑、讥讽我们。

5 How long, O LORD? Will You be angry forever? Will Your jealousy burn like fire?

5 耶和华啊，你向我们发怒， 要到何时呢？ 难道要到永远吗？ 你的怒火要烧到何时呢？

6 Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge You, on the kingdoms that refuse to call on Your name,

6 求你把烈怒撒向那些不承认你的列邦， 撒向那些不求告你的列国。

7 for they have devoured Jacob and devastated his homeland.

7 因为他们吞噬了雅各， 摧毁了他的家园。

8 Do not hold past sins against us; let Your compassion come quickly, for we are brought low.

8 求你不要向我们追讨我们祖先的罪， 愿你快快地怜悯我们， 因为我们落入绝望中。

9 Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of Your name; deliver us and atone for our sins, for the sake of Your name.

9 拯救我们的上帝啊， 求你为了自己荣耀的名而帮助我们， 为你名的缘故拯救我们， 赦免我们的罪。

10 Why should the nations ask, “Where is their God?” Before our eyes, make known among the nations Your vengeance for the bloodshed of Your servants.

10 为何让列邦说： “他们的上帝在哪里？” 求你让我们亲眼看见， 也让列邦都知道， 你为自己被害的子民申冤。

11 May the groans of the captives reach You; by the strength of Your arm preserve those condemned to death.

11 求你垂听被囚之人的哀叹， 求你用大能的臂膀留住死囚的性命。

12 Pay back into the laps of our neighbors sevenfold the reproach they hurled at You, O Lord.

12 主啊，我们的邻邦羞辱你， 求你以七倍的羞辱来报应他们。

13 Then we Your people, the sheep of Your pasture, will thank You forever; from generation to generation we will declare Your praise.

13 这样，你的子民，你草场上的羊必永远称谢你，世代称颂你。
