2The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be food unto the birds of the heavens, The flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.

3Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; And there was none to bury them.

4We are become a reproach to our neighbors, A scoffing and derision to them that are round about us.

5How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou be angry for ever? Shall thy jealousy burn like fire?

6Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that know thee not, And upon the kingdoms that call not upon thy name.

7For they have devoured Jacob, And laid waste his habitation.

8Remember not against us the iniquities of our forefathers: Let thy tender mercies speedily meet us; For we are brought very low.
