Chapter 79
1מִזְמוֹר לְאָסָף אֱֽלֹהִים בָּאוּ גוֹיִם בְּֽנַחֲלָתֶךָ טִמְּאוּ אֶת־הֵיכַל קׇדְשֶׁךָ שָׂמוּ אֶת־יְרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם לְעִיִּֽיםA psalm of Asaph. O God, heathens have entered Your domain, defiled Your holy temple, and turned Jerusalem into ruins.Mizmor leasaf elohim bau goyim benachalatecha timu et-heychal kodshecha samu et-yerushalam leiyim
2נָתְנוּ אֶת־נִבְלַת עֲבָדֶיךָ מַאֲכָל לְעוֹף הַשָּׁמָיִם בְּשַׂר חֲסִידֶיךָ לְחַיְתוֹ־אָֽרֶץThey have left Your servants’ corpses as food for the fowl of heaven, and the flesh of Your faithful for the wild beasts.Natnu et-nivlat avadeycha maachal leof hashamayim besar chasideycha lechayto-aretz
3שָׁפְכוּ דָמָם כַּמַּיִם סְֽבִיבוֹת יְֽרוּשָׁלָ͏ִם וְאֵין קוֹבֵֽרTheir blood was shed like water around Jerusalem, with none to bury them.Shafchu damam kamayim sevivot yerushalam veeyn kover
4הָיִינוּ חֶרְפָּה לִשְׁכֵנֵינוּ לַעַג וָקֶלֶס לִסְבִיבוֹתֵֽינוּWe have become the butt of our neighbors, the scorn and derision of those around us.Hayinu cherpah lishcheneynu laag vakeles lisvivoteynu
5עַד־מָה יְהֹוָה תֶּאֱנַף לָנֶצַח תִּֽבְעַר כְּמוֹ־אֵשׁ קִנְאָתֶֽךָHow long, O ETERNAL One, will You be angry forever, will Your indignation blaze like fire?Ad-mah Adonai teenaf lanetzach tivar kemo-esh kinatecha
6שְׁפֹךְ חֲמָתְךָ אֶֽל־הַגּוֹיִם אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יְדָעוּךָ וְעַל מַמְלָכוֹת אֲשֶׁר בְּשִׁמְךָ לֹא קָרָֽאוּPour out Your fury on the nations that do not know You, upon the kingdoms that do not invoke Your name,Shefoch chamatcha el-hagoyim asher lo-yedaucha veal mamlachot asher beshimcha lo karau
7כִּי אָכַל אֶֽת־יַעֲקֹב וְֽאֶת־נָוֵהוּ הֵשַֽׁמּוּfor they have devoured Jacob and desolated his home.Ki achal et-yaakov veet-navehu heshamu
8אַֽל־תִּזְכׇּר־לָנוּ עֲוֺנֹת רִאשֹׁנִים מַהֵר יְקַדְּמוּנוּ רַחֲמֶיךָ כִּי דַלּוֹנוּ מְאֹֽדDo not hold our former iniquities against us; let Your compassion come swiftly toward us, for we have sunk very low.Al-tizkor-lanu aonot rishonim maher yekadmunu rachameycha ki dalonu meod
9עׇזְרֵנוּ אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׁעֵנוּ עַֽל־דְּבַר כְּבֽוֹד־שְׁמֶךָ וְהַצִּילֵנוּ וְכַפֵּר עַל־חַטֹּאתֵינוּ לְמַעַן שְׁמֶֽךָHelp us, O God, our deliverer, for the sake of the glory of Your name. Save us and forgive our sin, for the sake of Your name.Ozrenu elohey yishenu al-devar kevod-shemecha vehatzilenu vechaper al-chatoteynu lemaan shemecha
10לָמָּה יֹאמְרוּ הַגּוֹיִם אַיֵּה אֱֽלֹהֵיהֶם יִוָּדַע (בגיים) [בַּגּוֹיִם] לְעֵינֵינוּ נִקְמַת דַּֽם־עֲבָדֶיךָ הַשָּׁפֽוּךְLet the nations not say, “Where is their God?” Before our eyes let it be known among the nations that You avenge the spilled blood of Your servants.Lamah yomru hagoyim ayeh eloheyhem yivada (vgyym) [bagoyim] leeyneynu nikmat dam-avadeycha hashafuch
11תָּבוֹא לְפָנֶיךָ אֶנְקַת אָסִיר כְּגֹדֶל זְרוֹעֲךָ הוֹתֵר בְּנֵי תְמוּתָֽהLet the groans of the prisoners reach You; reprieve those condemned to death, as befits Your great strength.Tavo lefaneycha enkat asir kegodel zeroacha hoter beney temutah
12וְהָשֵׁב לִשְׁכֵנֵינוּ שִׁבְעָתַיִם אֶל־חֵיקָם חֶרְפָּתָם אֲשֶׁר חֵרְפוּךָ אֲדֹנָֽיPay back our neighbors sevenfold for the abuse they have flung at You, O Sovereign.Vehashev lishcheneynu shivatayim el-cheykam cherpatam asher cherfucha adonay
13וַאֲנַחְנוּ עַמְּךָ וְצֹאן מַרְעִיתֶךָ נוֹדֶה לְּךָ לְעוֹלָם לְדוֹר וָדֹר נְסַפֵּר תְּהִלָּתֶֽךָThen we, Your people, the flock You shepherd, shall glorify You forever; for all time we shall tell Your praises.Vaanachnu amcha vetzon maritecha nodeh lecha leolam ledor vador nesaper tehilatecha
