Psalm 79:3

Faith Amid Confusion

²
They have given the dead bodies of Your servants as food to the birds of the heavens,
The flesh of Your godly ones to the beasts of the earth.
³ 
They have poured out their blood like water all around Jerusalem,
And there was no one to bury them.
⁴
We have become an object of taunting to our neighbors [because of our humiliation],
A derision and mockery to those who encircle us.
