Psalm 79:2-4
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
2 They have left the corpses of your servants
as food for the birds of the sky,
the flesh of those devoted to you for the beasts of the earth.(A)
3 They have poured out their blood like water
all around Jerusalem,
and no one is left to do the burying.(B)
4 We have become the reproach of our neighbors,
the scorn and derision of those around us.(C)
