Idahoan Psalter: Psalm 79

The Idahoan shares his paraphrase of the 79th psalm.

Lyrics:

Behold, oh Lord, the desolation that heathen swords have wrought:
Thy servants and saints throughout the nation they have slaughtered in their onslaught!
They shed out a flood of innocent blood, and let scavengers feast on the slain!
Our cities they razed and on th’ rubble trod, arousing our neighbors’ disdain!

How long, oh Lord, will Your anger last, and your jealousy burn like fire,
Over the transgressions of the past, whereby we aroused your ire?
Purge our sins, oh Lord, we beseech Thee, and take away our shame!
Deliver us from our enemy, lest they should despise Thy Name!
But let all now Thy power see, that all may know Thy fame:

Thy wrath pour out upon the heathen—upon them who know not Thee!
Avenge the blood of all our slain, that Thy justice we may see!
Harken unto the pris’ners our foes did condemn: From death deliver them,
And repay to our neighbors seven-fold the reproach they did for us hold,
That we may rejoice and give thanks to Thy Name, because we are the sheep of Thy fold!
And we’ll sing out Thy praise throughout endless days, while generations unfold!

You have a great singing voice.

Keep up the great work!
