Verse 3 is found in chapter 79 of Psalms. Psalm 79 laments a national desecration in which the nations have invaded God’s inheritance and defiled the temple. The request is not limited to recovering territory: the honor of the divine name is at stake. The psalmist asks forgiveness for the people’s sins and justice against those who shed blood. The conclusion promises that Israel, as God’s people, will proclaim his praise from generation to generation.

Sie haben Blut vergossen um Jerusalem her wie Wasser; und war niemand, der begrub.

Elles ont versé leur sang comme de l'eau Tout autour de Jérusalem, Et il n'y a eu personne pour les enterrer.
Hanno sparso il sangue loro come acqua Intorno a Gerusalemme; E non vi è stato alcuno che li seppellisse.
Derramaram o sangue deles como a água ao redor de Jerusalém, e não houve quem os enterrasse.
耶路撒冷 的周圍流出他們的血如水, 無人埋葬。
