Psalm 79:3 in context

The verses around it, from Psalm 79.

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

2 They 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.

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

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

5 How long, O LORD? Will You be angry forever? Will Your jealousy burn like fire?

6 Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge You, on the kingdoms that refuse to call on Your name,

7 for they have devoured Jacob and devastated his homeland.
