(A Mizmor. Of Asaph) O Elohim, the Goyim are come into Thine Nachalah; Thy Heikhal Kodesh have they defiled; they have reduced Yerushalayim to rubble.
2
The dead bodies of Thy avadim have they given to be food unto the oph HaShomayim, the basar of Thy Chasidim, unto the beasts of the earth.
3
שָׁפְכ֬וּ SDBH They have poured out דָמָ֨ם׀ SDBH their blood כַּמַּ֗יִם SDBH like water סְֽבִ֘יב֤וֹת all around יְֽרוּשָׁלִָ֗ם SDBH Jerusalem וְאֵ֣ין SDBH and [there is] no one קוֹבֵֽר׃ SDBH to bury [the dead]
Their shefach dahm (shedding of blood) is like mayim all around Yerushalayim; and there is none to bury them.
We are become a reproach to our shekhenim (neighbors), a scorn and derision to them that are around us.
How long, Hashem? Wilt Thou be angry lanetzach (forever)? Shall Thy kina (jealousy) burn like eish?
Pour out Thy wrath upon the Goyim that have no da'as of Thee, and upon the mamlachot that have not called upon Thy Shem.
For they have devoured Ya'akov, and laid waste his naveh (home).
O remember not against us avonot rishonim (former iniquities); let Thy rachamim speedily come to us; for we are brought very low.
Help us, O Elohei Yisheinu, (G-d of our salvation), for the kavod of Thy Shem; and deliver us, and make kapporah for our sins, for Thy Name's sake.
Why should the Goyim say, Where is Eloheihem? Let there be known among the Goyim in our sight, vengeance for the shefach dahm of Thy avadim.
11
תָּ֤ב֣וֹא SDBH reach You לְפָנֶיךָ֮ . . . אֶנְקַ֪ת SDBH May the groans אָ֫סִ֥יר SDBH of the captives כְּגֹ֥דֶל SDBH by the strength זְרוֹעֲךָ֑ SDBH of Your arm ה֝וֹתֵ֗ר SDBH preserve בְּנֵ֣י SDBH those condemned תְמוּתָֽה׃ SDBH to death
Let the groaning of the asir (prisoner) come before Thee; according to the greatness of Thy Zero'a preserve Thou those that are Bnei Temutah (sons of death, i.e., appointed to die, doomed to die);
And repay unto our shekhenim (neighbors) sevenfold into their kheyk their reproach, wherewith they have reproached Thee, Adonoi.
13
וַאֲנַ֤חְנוּ SDBH Then we עַמְּךָ֨׀ SDBH Your people וְצֹ֥אן SDBH the sheep מַרְעִיתֶךָ֮ SDBH of Your pasture נ֤וֹדֶ֥ה SDBH will thank לְּךָ֗ You לְע֫וֹלָ֥ם SDBH forever לְדֹ֥ר SDBH from generation וָדֹ֑ר SDBH to generation נְ֝סַפֵּ֗ר SDBH we will declare תְּהִלָּתֶֽךָ׃ SDBH Your praise
So we Thy people and tzon of Thy pasture will give Thee thanks l'olahm (forever); we will show forth Thy praise l'dor vador.
