Psalm 79:1-2
EasyEnglish Bible

Asaph wrote this psalm.

God, help us![a]

79 God, foreign nations have attacked your own land.
    They have spoiled your holy temple.[b]
    They have destroyed the buildings in Jerusalem.
2 They have let birds come down
    and eat the dead bodies of your people.
Your servants have become food for wild animals to eat.

Footnotes

  1. 79:1 Perhaps an Israelite prisoner wrote this psalm, after enemies had attacked Jerusalem. He asks God to punish Israel's enemies and to make prisoners free. He wants other nations to know that God is powerful.
  2. 79:1 When they spoiled the temple, it meant that they had made it unclean. God's people could not use it to worship him.
