Psalm 79
 (Sung text for setting by E. Fine)
 See original
Language: Latin 
1  Psalmus Asaph.
   Deus, venerunt gentes in hæreditatem tuam;
   polluerunt templum sanctum tuum;
   posuerunt Jerusalem in pomorum custodiam.
 Posuerunt morticina servorum tuorum escas volatilibus cæli;
   carnes sanctorum tuorum bestiis terræ.
 Effuderunt sanguinem eorum tamquam aquam in circuitu Jerusalem,
   et non erat qui sepeliret.
 Facti sumus opprobrium vicinis nostris;
   subsannatio et illusio his qui in circuitu nostro sunt.
 Usquequo, Domine, irasceris in finem?
   accendetur velut ignis zelus tuus?
 ...
