O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.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.Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and[ there was] none to bury[ them].We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
