Psalm 78:3–6

3 They have poured out blood like water

all around Jerusalem,

and there is no one to bury the dead.

4 We are objects of contempt to our neighbors,

of scorn and derision to those around us.

5 How long, Lord? Will you be angry forever?

How long will your jealousy burn like fire?

6 Pour out your wrath on the nations

that do not acknowledge you,

on the kingdoms

that do not call on your name;

3 They have poured out their blood like water

all around Jerusalem,

and there was no one to bury them.

4 We have become a taunt to our neighbors,

mocked and derided by those around us.

5 How long, O Lord? Will you be angry forever?

Will your jealousy burn like fire?

6 Pour out your anger on the nations

that do not know you,

and on the kingdoms

that do not call upon your name!

3 Their blood have they shed like water

Round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.

4 We are become a reproach to our neighbours,

A scorn and derision to them that are round about us.

5 How long, Lord? wilt thou be angry for ever?

Shall thy jealousy burn like fire?

6 Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee,

And upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.

3 Blood has flowed like water all around Jerusalem;

no one is left to bury the dead.

4 We are mocked by our neighbors,

an object of scorn and derision to those around us.

5 O Lord, how long will you be angry with us? Forever?

How long will your jealousy burn like fire?

6 Pour out your wrath on the nations that refuse to acknowledge you—

on kingdoms that do not call upon your name.

3 Their blood they have shed like water all around Jerusalem,

And there was no one to bury them.

4 We have become a reproach to our neighbors,

A scorn and derision to those who are around us.

5 How long, Lord?

Will You be angry forever?

Will Your jealousy burn like fire?

6 Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not know You,

And on the kingdoms that do not call on Your name.

3 They have spilled blood like water all around Jerusalem.

No one was left to bury the dead.

4 We are a joke to the other nations;

they laugh and make fun of us.

5 Lord, how long will this last?

Will you be angry forever?

How long will your jealousy burn like a fire?

6 Be angry with the nations that do not know you

and with the kingdoms that do not honor you.

3 Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem;

And there was none to bury them.

4 We are become a reproach to our neighbors,

A scoffing and derision to them that are round about us.

5 How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou be angry for ever?

Shall thy jealousy burn like fire?

6 Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that know thee not,

And upon the kingdoms that call not upon thy name.

3 Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem, and there was none to bury them. 4 We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a mockery and a derision to them that are round about us. 5 How long, O Jehovah? wilt thou be angry for ever? Shall thy jealousy burn like fire?

6 Pour out thy fury upon the nations that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that call not upon thy name:

3 They have shed the blood of your people around Jerusalem 

as though it were water. 

There is no one to bury your people. 

4 We have become a disgrace to our neighbors, 

an object of ridicule and contempt to those around us. 

5 How long, O Lord? 

Will you remain angry forever? 

Will your fury continue to burn like fire? 

6 Pour your fury on the nations that do not know you, 

on the kingdoms that have not called you. 

3 They poured out their blood

like water all around Jerusalem,

and there was no one to bury them.

4 We have become an object of reproach

to our neighbors,

a source of mockery and ridicule

to those around us.

5 How long, Yahweh? Will You be angry forever?

Will Your jealousy keep burning like fire?

6 Pour out Your wrath on the nations

that don’t acknowledge You,

on the kingdoms that don’t call on Your name,

3 They have poured out their blood like water

all around Jerusalem,

and there was no one to bury them.

4 We have become a taunt to our neighbors,

mocked and derided by those around us.

5 How long, O Lord? Will you be angry forever?

Will your jealous wrath burn like fire?

6 Pour out your anger on the nations

that do not know you

and on the kingdoms

that do not call on your name.

3 They have poured out their blood like water

all around Jerusalem,

and there was none to bury them.

4 We have become a taunt to our neighbors,

a derision and a scorn to those around us.

5 How long, O Yahweh? Will you be angry forever?

Will your jealousy burn like fire?

6 Pour out your anger on the nations

that do not know you,

and on the kingdoms

that do not call on your name,

3 They have poured out the blood of your people like water

all around Jerusalem.

No one is left to bury the dead.

4 We are something our neighbors joke about.

The nations around us laugh at us and make fun of us.

5 Lord, how long will you be angry with us? Will it be forever?

How long will your jealousy burn like fire?

6 Pour out your burning anger on the nations

that don’t pay any attention to you.

Pour it out on the kingdoms

that don’t worship you.

3 They have poured out their blood like water round about Jerusalem;

And there was no one to bury them.

4 We have become a reproach to our neighbors,

A scoffing and derision to those around us.

5 How long, O Lord? Will You be angry forever?

Will Your jealousy burn like fire?

6 Pour out Your wrath upon the nations which do not know You,

And upon the kingdoms which do not call upon Your name.
