"O God, the nations have invaded your inheritance..."

Hagia Sophia, where the historic and sacred mosaic icons of Christ, the Theotokos and the Saints remain covered, not just at the hour of muslim prayer, but 24 hrs. a day (source)

  

O God, the nations have invaded your inheritance;^(A)

    they have defiled^(B) your holy temple,

    they have reduced Jerusalem to rubble.^(C)

² They have left the dead bodies of your servants

    as food for the birds of the sky,^(D)

    the flesh of your own people for the animals of the wild.^(E)

³ They have poured out blood like water

    all around Jerusalem,

    and there is no one to bury^(F) the dead.^(G)

⁴ We are objects of contempt to our neighbors,

    of scorn^(H) and derision to those around us.^(I)

⁵ How long,^(J) Lord? Will you be angry^(K) forever?

    How long will your jealousy burn like fire? ^...

⁸ Do not hold against us the sins of past generations;^(Q)

    may your mercy come quickly to meet us,

    for we are in desperate need.^(R)

⁹ Help us,^(S) God our Savior,

    for the glory of your name;

deliver us and forgive our sins

    for your name’s sake.^(T)

¹⁰ Why should the nations say,

    “Where is their God?”^)...

¹³ Then we your people, the sheep of your pasture,^(Z)

    will praise you forever;^(AA)

from generation to generation

    we will proclaim your praise.

-from Psalm 79
