1 מִזְמֹור לְאָסָף אֱ‍לֹהִים בָּאוּ גֹויִם ׀ בְּנַחֲלָתֶךָ טִמְּאוּ אֶת־הֵיכַל קָדְשֶׁךָ שָׂמוּ אֶת־יְרוּשָׁלִַם לְעִיִּים	1 [Psalm Of Asaph] God, the pagans have invaded your heritage, they have defiled your holy temple,they have laid Jerusalem in ruins,
2 נָתְנוּ אֶת־נִבְלַת עֲבָדֶיךָ מַאֲכָל לְעֹוף הַשָּׁמָיִם בְּשַׂר חֲסִידֶיךָ לְחַיְתֹו־אָרֶץ	2 they have left the corpses of your servants as food for the birds of the air, the bodies of your faithful forthe wild beasts.
3 שָׁפְכוּ דָמָם ׀ כַּמַּיִם סְבִיבֹות יְרוּשָׁלִָם וְאֵין קֹובֵר	3 Around Jerusalem they have shed blood like water, leaving no one to bury them.
4 הָיִינוּ חֶרְפָּה לִשְׁכֵנֵינוּ לַעַג וָקֶלֶס לִסְבִיבֹותֵינוּ	4 We are the scorn of our neighbours, the butt and laughing-stock of those around us.
5 עַד־מָה יְהוָה תֶּאֱנַף לָנֶצַח תִּבְעַר כְּמֹו־אֵשׁ קִנְאָתֶךָ	5 How long will you be angry, Yahweh? For ever? Is your jealousy to go on smouldering like a fire?
6 שְׁפֹךְ חֲמָתְךָ אֶל־הַגֹּויִם אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יְדָעוּךָ וְעַל מַמְלָכֹות אֲשֶׁר בְּשִׁמְךָ לֹא קָרָאוּ	6 Pour out your anger on the nations who do not acknowledge you, and on the kingdoms that do not callon your name;
7 כִּי אָכַל אֶת־יַעֲקֹב וְאֶת־נָוֵהוּ הֵשַׁמּוּ	7 for they have devoured Jacob and devastated his home.
8 אַל־תִּזְכָּר־לָנוּ עֲוֹנֹת רִאשֹׁנִים מַהֵר יְקַדְּמוּנוּ רַחֲמֶיךָ כִּי דַלֹּונוּ מְאֹד	8 Do not count against us the guilt of former generations, in your tenderness come quickly to meet us,for we are utterly weakened;
9 עָזְרֵנוּ ׀ אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׁעֵנוּ עַל־דְּבַר כְּבֹוד־שְׁמֶךָ וְהַצִּילֵנוּ וְכַפֵּר עַל־חַטֹּאתֵינוּ לְמַעַן שְׁמֶךָ	9 help us, God our Saviour, for the glory of your name; Yahweh, wipe away our sins, rescue us for thesake of your name.
10 לָמָּה ׀ יֹאמְרוּ הַגֹּויִם אַיֵּה אֱ‍לֹהֵיהֶם יִוָּדַע [בַּגִּיִּים כ] (בַּגֹּויִם ק) לְעֵינֵינוּ נִקְמַת דַּם־עֲבָדֶיךָ הַשָּׁפוּךְ	10 Why should the nations ask, 'Where is their God?' Let us see the nations suffer vengeance forshedding your servants' blood.
11 תָּבֹוא לְפָנֶיךָ אֶנְקַת אָסִיר כְּגֹדֶל זְרֹועֲךָ הֹותֵר בְּנֵי תְמוּתָה	11 May the groans of the captive reach you, by your great strength save those who are condemned todeath!
12 וְהָשֵׁב לִשְׁכֵנֵינוּ בְעָתַיִם אֶל־חֵיקָם חֶרְפָּתָם אֲשֶׁר חֵרְפוּךָ אֲדֹנָי	12 Repay our neighbours sevenfold for the insults they have level ed at you, Lord.
13 וַאֲנַחְנוּ עַמְּךָ ׀ וְצֹאן מַרְעִיתֶךָ נֹודֶה לְּךָ לְעֹולָם לְדֹר וָדֹר נְסַפֵּר תְּהִלָּתֶךָ	13 And we, your people, the flock that you pasture, will thank you for ever, wil recite your praises fromage to age.
