Psalm 79
Hymnal: Foundations Psalter #79 (2023) Hymnal Title: Foundations Psalter First Line: O God, the heathen enter'd have Lyrics: 1 O God, the heathen entered have
thine heritage; by them
Defilèd is thy house: on heaps
they laid Jerusalem.
2 The bodies of thy servants they
have cast forth to be meat
To rav'nous fowls; thy dear saints' flesh
they gave to beasts to eat.
3 Their blood about Jerusalem
like water they have shed;
And there was none to bury them
when they were slain and dead.
4 Unto our neighbors a reproach
most base become are we;
A scorn and laughingstock to them
that round about us be.
5 How long, Lord, shall thine anger last?
wilt thou still keep the same?
And shall thy fervent jealousy
burn like unto a flame?
6 On heathen pour thy fury forth,
that have thee never known,
And on those kingdoms which thy name
have never called upon.
7 For these are they who Jacob have
devoured cruelly;
And they his habitätion
have causèd waste to lie.
8 Against us mind not former sins;
thy tender mercies show;
Let them prevent us speedily,
for we're brought very low.
9 For thy name's glory help us, Lord,
who hast our Savior been:
Deliver us; for thy name's sake,
O purge away our sin.
10 Why say the heathen, Where's their God?
let him to them be known;
When those who shed thy servants' blood
are in our sight o'erthrown.
11 O let the pris'ner's sighs ascend
before thy sight on high;
Preserve those in thy mighty pow'r
that are designed to die.
12 And to our neighbors' bosom cause
it sev'nfold rendered be,
Ev'n the reproach wherewith they have,
O Lord, reproachèd thee.
13 So we thy folk, and pasture-sheep,
shall give thee thanks always;
And unto generations all
we will show forth thy praise. Scripture: Psalm 79 Languages: English
