1 Ѱало́мъ а҆са́фꙋ, Бж҃е, прїидо́ша ꙗ҆зы́цы въ достоѧ́нїе твоѐ, ѡ҆скверни́ша хра́мъ ст҃ы́й тво́й,
79:1 A Psalm by Asaph. God, the nations have come into your inheritance. They have defiled your holy temple. They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.
2 положи́ша і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆во́щное храни́лище: положи́ша трꙋ̑пїѧ ра̑бъ твои́хъ бра́шно пти́цамъ небє́снымъ, плѡ́ти прпⷣбныхъ твои́хъ ѕвѣрє́мъ зємны́мъ:
79:2 They have given the dead bodies of your servants to be food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your saints to the animals of the earth.
3 пролїѧ́ша кро́вь и҆́хъ ꙗ҆́кѡ во́дꙋ ѡ҆́крестъ і҆ерⷭ҇ли́ма, и҆ не бѣ̀ погреба́ѧй.
79:3 They have shed their blood like water around Jerusalem. There was no one to bury them.
4 Бы́хомъ поноше́нїе сосѣ́дѡмъ на́шымъ, подражне́нїе и҆ порꙋга́нїе сꙋ́щымъ ѡ҆́крестъ на́съ.
79:4 We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and derision to those who are around us.
5 Доко́лѣ, гдⷭ҇и, прогнѣ́ваешисѧ до конца̀; разжже́тсѧ ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆́гнь рве́нїе твоѐ;
79:5 How long, Yahweh? Will you be angry forever? Will your jealousy burn like fire?
6 Пролі́й гнѣ́въ тво́й на ꙗ҆зы́ки незна́ющыѧ тебє̀, и҆ на ца̑рствїѧ, ꙗ҆̀же и҆́мене твоегѡ̀ не призва́ша:
79:6 Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t know you, on the kingdoms that don’t call on your name,
7 ꙗ҆́кѡ поѧдо́ша і҆а́кѡва, и҆ мѣ́сто є҆гѡ̀ ѡ҆пꙋстоши́ша.
79:7 for they have devoured Jacob, and destroyed his homeland.
8 Не помѧнѝ на́шихъ беззако́нїй пе́рвыхъ: ско́рѡ да предварѧ́тъ ны̀ щедрѡ́ты твоѧ̑, гдⷭ҇и, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆бнища́хомъ ѕѣлѡ̀.
79:8 Don’t hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us. Let your tender mercies speedily meet us, for we are in desperate need.
9 Помозѝ на́мъ, бж҃е, сп҃си́телю на́шъ, сла́вы ра́ди и҆́мене твоегѡ̀: гдⷭ҇и, и҆зба́ви ны̀ и҆ ѡ҆чⷭ҇ти грѣхѝ на́шѧ и҆́мене ра́ди твоегѡ̀.
79:9 Help us, God of our salvation, for the glory of your name. Deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your name’s sake.
10 Да не когда̀ рекꙋ́тъ ꙗ҆зы́цы: гдѣ̀ є҆́сть бг҃ъ и҆́хъ; и҆ да ᲂу҆вѣ́стсѧ во ꙗ҆зы́цѣхъ пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма на́шима ѿмще́нїе кро́ве ра̑бъ твои́хъ пролиты́ѧ.
79:10 Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” Let it be known among the nations, before our eyes, that vengeance for your servants’ blood is being poured out.
11 Да вни́детъ пред̾ тѧ̀ воздыха́нїе ѡ҆кова́нныхъ: по вели́чїю мы́шцы твоеѧ̀ снабдѝ сы́ны ᲂу҆мерщвле́нныхъ.
79:11 Let the sighing of the prisoner come before you. According to the greatness of your power, preserve those who are sentenced to death.
12 Возда́ждь сосѣ́дѡмъ на́шымъ седмери́цею въ нѣ́дро и҆́хъ поноше́нїе и҆́хъ, и҆́мже поноси́ша тѧ̀, гдⷭ҇и.
79:12 Pay back to our neighbors seven times into their bosom their reproach with which they have reproached you, Lord.
13 Мы́ же лю́дїе твоѝ и҆ ѻ҆́вцы па́жити твоеѧ̀ и҆сповѣ́мысѧ тебѣ̀, бж҃е, во вѣ́къ, въ ро́дъ и҆ ро́дъ возвѣсти́мъ хвалꙋ̀ твою̀.
79:13 So we, your people and sheep of your pasture, will give you thanks forever. We will praise you forever, to all generations.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations). Verse numbers below follow the Hebrew/English numbering: 79.

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm LXXVIII)

    This Psalm doth contain the things which are said to have been done among the old people: but the new and latter people is being admonished, to beware that it be not ungrateful regarding the blessings of God, and provoke His anger against it, whereas it ought to receive His grace....The Title thereof doth first move and engage our attention.

  2. Quotes verse 79:5 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book VIII, Chapter XI)

    Wilt Thou be angry for ever? Oh, remember not against us former iniquities;" for I felt that I was enthralled by them.

  3. Quotes verse 79:3 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XVII)

    For they who did not spare children, who slew prophets, and "shed blood as water," much more would they have showed no mercy to women.
