3 Their blood they have shed like water around Jerusalem. There was no one to bury them.
4 We have become a reproach to our neighbors, A scoffing and derision to those who are around us.
5 How long, Yahweh? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire?
6 Pour out your wrath on the nations that don`t know you; On the kingdoms that don`t call on your names;
7 For they have devoured Jacob, And destroyed his homeland.
8 Don`t hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us. Let your tender mercies speedily meet us, For we are in desperate need.
9 Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of your name. Deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your name`s sake.
