Psalm 79:3-5

Revised Standard Version

³They have poured out their blood like water
    round about Jerusalem,
    and there was none to bury them.
⁴We have become a taunt to our neighbors,
    mocked and derided by those round about us.

⁵How long, O Lord? Wilt thou be angry for ever?
Will thy jealous wrath burn like fire?
