Latin text
Deus venerunt gentes in hereditatem tuam, polluerunt templum sanctum tuum. Posuerunt Hierusalem in pomorum custodiam.
Posuerunt morticinia servorum tuorum escas volatilibus cœli, carnes sanctorum tuorum bestiis terræ.
Effuderunt sanguinem ipsorum tanquam aquam in circuitu Hierusalem, et non erat qui sepeliret.
Facti sumus opprobrium vicinis nostris, subsannatio et illusio his qui in circuitu nostro sunt.
- Psalm 78: 1-4
English translation
O God the Gentiles are come into thine inheritance, they have polluted thy holy temple: they have made Jerusalem as a watch tower of fruits.
They have made the carcases of thy servants, meat for the fowls of the air: the flesh of thy saints for the beasts of the land.
They have poured out their blood as water round about Jerusalem: and there was none to bury them.
We are become a reproach to our neighbours: a scorn and mock to them that are round about us.
