| Verse 1 |
Oh God the nations have come
Into Your inheritance
They have defiled Your Holy Temple
They’ve left Jerusalem in ruins
| Verse 2 |
They’ve given the bodies of Your servants
The flesh of Your faithful to the beasts of the earth
Poured out their blood like water
All around Jerusalem
| Chorus |
How long Oh Lord will You be angry forever
Will Your jealousy burn like fire
Pour out Your anger on the nations
On the kingdoms who do not call upon Your name
| Verse 3 |
We have become a taunt to our neighbors
Mocked and derided by those around us
For they have devoured Jacob
And laid waste his habitation
Why should the nations say?
They say, "Where is their God?"
Let the groans of prisoners come before
According to Your great power
| Bridge |
But we Your people, the sheep of Your pasture
Will give thanks to you forever
From generation, to generation
We will recount Your praise
