Psalm 79:3-5
New English Translation
3 They have made their blood flow like water
all around Jerusalem, and there is no one to bury them.[a]
4 We have become an object of disdain to our neighbors;
those who live on our borders taunt and insult us.[b]
5 How long will this go on, O Lord?[c]
Will you stay angry forever?
How long will your rage[d] burn like fire?
