FORM: Communal lament | Traditional heading: Asaph Jerusalem lies devastated and the dead are dishonored in Psalm 79, associated with Asaph in its heading. The community pleads for mercy while also admitting its need for forgiveness. Catholic prayer can draw from its honesty when war or persecution injures a whole people. Its harsh appeal for judgment must be read through Jesus' call to forgive enemies and seek peace. The Psalm holds together accountability and repentance: victims need justice, and God's people must also examine their own fidelity. Even devastated communities are not beyond the reach of divine compassion.
