In context

1The nations, O God, have invaded Your inheritance; they have defiled Your holy temple and reduced Jerusalem to rubble.

2They have given the corpses of Your servants as food to the birds of the air, the flesh of Your saints to the beasts of the earth.

3They have poured out their blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there is no one to bury the dead.

4We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to those around us.
