¹ O God, the nations have invaded your inheritance;^(A)
    they have defiled^(B) your holy temple,
    they have reduced Jerusalem to rubble.^(C)
2 They have left the dead bodies of your servants
    as food for the birds of the sky,^(D)
    the flesh of your own people for the animals of the wild.^(E)
3 They have poured out blood like water
    all around Jerusalem,
    and there is no one to bury^(F) the dead.^(G)
