Psalm 79

Menge Bibel

1 Ein Psalm von Asaph. O Gott, in dein Eigentum sind Heiden eingedrungen, haben deinen heiligen Tempel entweiht, Jerusalem zu Trümmerhaufen gemacht! (Ps 50,1)2 Sie haben die Leichen deiner Knechte den Vögeln des Himmels zum Fraß gegeben, den wilden Tieren des Landes die Leiber deiner Frommen!3 Sie haben deren Blut vergossen wie Wasser rings um Jerusalem her, und niemand hat sie begraben!4 Wir sind unsern Nachbarn zur Schmähung geworden, ein Spott und Hohn den Völkern um uns her!5 Wie lange, o HERR, willst du unversöhnlich zürnen? Bis wann soll lodern dein Eifer[1] wie Feuer?6 Gieß deine Zornglut über die Heiden aus, die dich nicht kennen, auf die Reiche, die deinen Namen nicht anrufen!7 Denn sie haben Jakob gefressen und seine Wohnstatt verwüstet.8 Rechne uns nicht die Schuld der Väter an, laß eilends dein Erbarmen uns angedeihn! Denn gar schwach sind wir geworden.9 Hilf uns, du Gott unsers Heils, um der Ehre deines Namens willen! Errette uns und vergib uns unsere Sünden um deines Namens willen!10 Warum sollen die Heiden sagen: »Wo ist ihr Gott?« Laß kundwerden an den Heiden vor unsern Augen die Rache für das vergossne Blut deiner Knechte!11 Laß vor dich kommen das Seufzen der Gefangenen; kraft deines starken Armes erhalte am Leben die dem Tode Geweihten!12 Und zahle unsern Nachbarn siebenfach heim in ihren Busen den Hohn, mit dem sie dich, o Allherr, gehöhnt!13 Wir aber, dein Volk und die Herde, die du weidest, wir wollen dir ewiglich danken, von Geschlecht zu Geschlecht verkünden deinen Ruhm!

1 God, an army from the nations has attacked your land. They have polluted your holy temple. They have completely destroyed Jerusalem.2 They have left the dead bodies of your people. They have left them as food for the birds in the sky. They have left the bodies of your faithful people. They have left them for the wild animals.3 They have poured out the blood of your people like water. It is all around Jerusalem. No one is left to bury the dead.4 We are something our neighbours 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 for ever? How long will your jealousy burn like fire?6 Bring your great anger against the nations that don’t pay any attention to you. Bring it against the kingdoms that don’t worship you.7 They have swallowed up the people of Jacob. They have destroyed Israel’s homeland.8 Don’t hold against us the sins of our people who lived before us. May you be quick to show us your tender love. We are in great need.9 God our Saviour, help us. Then glory will come to you. Save us and forgive our sins. Then people will honour your name.10 Why should the nations say, ‘Where is their God?’ Show the nations that you punish those who kill your people. We want to see it happen.11 Listen to the groans of the prisoners. Use your strong arm to save people sentenced to death.12 Lord, our neighbours have laughed at you. Pay them back seven times for what they have done.13 We are your people, your very own sheep. We will praise you for ever. For all time to come we will keep on praising you.

1 A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the nations have come into your inheritance; they have defiled your holy temple; they have laid Jerusalem in ruins. (2Mo 15,17; 2Kön 25,9; 2Chr 36,19; Ps 50,1; Ps 74,2; Ps 74,7; Jer 26,18; Kla 1,10; Mi 3,12)2 They have given the bodies of your servants to the birds of the heavens for food, the flesh of your faithful to the beasts of the earth. (5Mo 28,26; Ps 50,5; Ps 74,19; Jer 7,33; Jer 16,4; Jer 19,7; Jer 34,20)3 They have poured out their blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there was no one to bury them. (2Kön 9,10; Jer 14,16)4 We have become a taunt to our neighbors, mocked and derided by those around us. (Ps 44,13; Dan 9,16)5 How long, O Lord? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire? (Ps 13,1; Ps 74,1; Ps 74,10; Ps 78,21; Ps 78,58; Ps 80,4; Ps 85,5; Ps 89,46)6 Pour out your anger on the nations that do not know you, and on the kingdoms that do not call upon your name! (Ps 14,4; Jer 10,25; Zef 3,8; 2Thess 1,8)7 For they have devoured Jacob and laid waste his habitation.8 Do not remember against us our former iniquities;[1] let your compassion come speedily to meet us, for we are brought very low. (Ps 116,6; Ps 142,6; Jes 64,9; Jer 11,10)9 Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of your name; deliver us, and atone for our sins, for your name’s sake! (2Chr 14,11; Ps 23,3; Ps 65,3; Jer 14,7; Jer 14,21)10 Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” Let the avenging of the outpoured blood of your servants be known among the nations before our eyes! (Ps 42,3; Ps 94,1)11 Let the groans of the prisoners come before you; according to your great power, preserve those doomed to die! (1Sam 20,31; Ps 102,20)12 Return sevenfold into the lap of our neighbors the taunts with which they have taunted you, O Lord! (1Mo 4,15; 1Mo 4,24; 3Mo 26,21; 3Mo 26,28; Ps 74,10; Spr 6,31; Jes 65,6; Jer 32,18)13 But we your people, the sheep of your pasture, will give thanks to you forever; from generation to generation we will recount your praise. (Ps 74,1; Jes 43,21)
