Wähle eine Nachdichtung zum Vergleich
Vers 1
thine heritage; by them
Defiled is thy house: on heaps
they laid Jerusalem.
Vers 2
have cast forth to be meat
To rav’nous fowls; thy dear saints’ flesh
they gave to beasts to eat.
Vers 3
like water they have shed;
And there was none to bury them
when they were slain and dead.
Vers 4
most base become are we;
A scorn and laughingstock to them
that round about us be.
Vers 5
wilt thou still keep the same?
And shall thy fervent jealousy
burn like unto a flame?
Vers 6
that have thee never known,
And on those kingdoms which thy name
have never call’d upon.
Vers 7
devoured cruelly;
And they his habitation
have caused waste to lie.
Vers 8
thy tender mercies show;
Let them prevent us speedily,
for we’re brought very low.
Vers 9
who hast our Saviour been:
Deliver us; for thy name’s sake,
O purge away our sin.
Vers 10
let him to them be known;
When those who shed thy servants’ blood
are in our sight o’erthrown.
Vers 11
before thy sight on high;
Preserve those in thy mighty pow’r
that are design’d to die.
Vers 12
it sev’n-fold render’d be,
Ev’n the reproach wherewith they have,
O Lord, reproached thee.
Vers 13
shall give thee thanks always;
And unto generations all
we will shew forth thy praise.
