O god, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.

The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.

Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.

We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.

How long, Lord? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?

Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.

For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.

O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.

Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake.

Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed.

Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die;

And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.

So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will shew forth thy praise to all generations.







Psalm 79
King James Bible

For they have devoured Jacob

Psaume 79 (Etobicoke edit)

it is revealed to them.

And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old: these were the years of the life of Sarah.

mine eye hath seen all this,

Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him?

 He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.

 Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you?

 Your remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.

 Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will.

 Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?

 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.

 He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.

 Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.

 Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.

 Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.

 Only do not two things unto me: then will I not hide myself from thee.

 Withdraw thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me afraid.

 Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me.

 How many are mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin.

 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy?

 Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?

 For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth.

 Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet.

 And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth eaten.




Job 13:9-28
King James Bible

as a garment that is moth eaten.

Porque él es bueno:

And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,

Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.

 He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts.

 He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.

 He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts.

 He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,

 And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.

 He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.

 He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.

 Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.

 He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.

 The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

 He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.

 For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.

 And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:

 And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;

 That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the Lord.






Psalm 105:30-45
King James Bible

consider my meditation.

And gave them the lands of the heathen:

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Psalm 1
King James Bible

the faithful city.

Psaume 1 (Alcorcón)

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

 How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.

 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:

 Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.




Isaiah 1:18-23
King James Bible

How is the faithful city become an harlot!

over Philistia will I triumph.

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:

which thou knowest not.

Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.

Jewry 2

who can know it? (La Boca)

And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
