Psalms 79:1-7

How Long, O Lord?

A Psalm of ^hAsaph.

1 O God, ⁱthe nations have come into your ^jinheritance;
they have defiled your ^kholy temple;
they have ^llaid Jerusalem in ruins.
2They have given ^mthe bodies of your servants
to the birds of the heavens for food,
the flesh of your ⁿfaithful to ^othe beasts of the earth.
3They have poured out their blood like water
all around Jerusalem,
and there was ^pno one to bury them.
4We have become ^qa taunt to our neighbors,
^rmocked and derided by those around us.
5 ^sHow long, O Lord? Will you be angry ^tforever?
Will your ^ujealousy ^vburn like fire?
6 ^wPour out your anger on the nations
that ^xdo not know you,
and on the kingdoms
that ^ydo not call upon your name!
7For they have devoured Jacob
and laid waste his habitation.

Isaiah 1:7

7 ^zYour country lies desolate;
your cities are burned with fire;
in your very presence
foreigners devour your land;
it is desolate, as overthrown by foreigners.

Lamentations 1:1-4

How Lonely Sits the City

1 ^aaHow lonely sits the city
that was full of people!
How like ^aba widow has she become,
she who was great among the nations!
She who was ^aca princess among the provinces
has become ^ada slave.
2 ^aeShe weeps bitterly in the night,
with tears on her cheeks;
^afamong all her lovers
she has ^agnone to comfort her;
^ahall her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
they have become her enemies.
3 ^aiJudah has gone into exile because of affliction
and hard servitude;
^ajshe dwells now among the nations,
^akbut finds no resting place;
her pursuers have all overtaken her
in the midst of her distress. ▼

▼Or  in the narrow passes

4 The roads to Zion mourn,
for none come to ^amthe festival;
^anall her gates are desolate;
her priests ^aogroan;
her virgins have been afflicted, ▼

▼Septuagint, Old Latin dragged away

and she herself suffers bitterly.

Lamentations 2:4-8

4 ^aqHe has bent his bow like an enemy,
with his right hand set ^arlike a foe;
and he has killed all who were delightful in our eyes
in the tent of the daughter of Zion;
he has poured out his fury like fire.
5 ^asThe Lord has become like an enemy;
^athe has swallowed up Israel;
^auhe has swallowed up all its palaces;
he has laid in ruins its strongholds,
and he has multiplied in the daughter of Judah
^avmourning and lamentation.
6 He has laid waste his booth like a garden,
laid in ruins ^awhis meeting place;
^axthe Lord has made Zion forget
festival and ^aySabbath,
and in his fierce indignation has spurned king and priest.
7 ^azThe Lord has scorned his altar,
^badisowned his sanctuary;
^bbhe has delivered into the hand of the enemy
the walls of her palaces;
^bcthey raised a clamor in the house of the Lord
as on the day of festival.
8 ^bdThe Lord determined to lay in ruins
^bethe wall of the daughter of Zion;
^bfhe stretched out the measuring line;
he did not restrain his hand from destroying;
^bghe caused rampart and wall to lament;
^bhthey languished together.

Lamentations 5:18

18for Mount Zion which lies desolate;
^bijackals prowl over it.
