Psalm 79:1-3

Good News Translation

79 ^(A)O God, the heathen have invaded your land.
    They have desecrated your holy Temple
    and left Jerusalem in ruins.
² They left the bodies of your people for the vultures,
    the bodies of your servants for wild animals to eat.
³ They shed your people's blood like water;
    blood flowed like water all through Jerusalem,
    and no one was left to bury the dead.
