Psalm: 78
Iconography: Two soldiers advance on a man cowering in the temple. At their feet lie three decapitated corpses. God the nations are come into your inheritance: they have defiled your holy temple: they have set aside ierusulem. They have set aside the carcasses of your servants as food for the fowls of the air: the flesh of your holy ones for the beasts of the earth. They have poured out their blood like water round about ierusalem: and there was no one to bury them
