HCSBNLTNIVKJV

1 God, the nations have invaded Your inheritance, desecrated Your holy temple, and turned Jerusalem into ruins.

2 They gave the corpses of Your servants to the birds of the sky for food, the flesh of Your godly ones to the beasts of the earth.

3 They poured out their blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there was no one to bury them.

6 Pour out Your wrath on the nations that don’t acknowledge You, on the kingdoms that don’t call on Your name,

1 O God, pagan nations have conquered your land, your special possession. They have defiled your holy Temple and made Jerusalem a heap of ruins.

2 They have left the bodies of your servants as food for the birds of heaven. The flesh of your godly ones has become food for the wild animals.

3 Blood has flowed like water all around Jerusalem; no one is left to bury the dead.

6 Pour out your wrath on the nations that refuse to acknowledge you—on kingdoms that do not call upon your name.

1 O God, the nations have invaded your inheritance; they have defiled your holy temple, they have reduced Jerusalem to rubble.

2 They have left the dead bodies of your servants as food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your own people for the animals of the wild.

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

6 Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge you, on the kingdoms that do not call on your name;

1 O god, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.

2 The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.

3 Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.

5

6 Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.
