Psalmen 80

1Unto the end, for them that shall he changed, a testimony for Asaph, a psalm.

2Give ear, O thou that rulest Israel: thou that leadest Joseph like a sheep. Thou that sittest upon the cherubims, shine forth

3Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasses. Stir up thy might, and come to save us.

4Convert us, O God: and shew us thy face, and we shall be saved.

5O Lord God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy servant?

6How long wilt thou feed us with the bread of tears: and give us for our drink tears in measure?

7Thou hast made us to be a contradiction to our neighbours: and our enemies have scoffed at us.

8O God of hosts, convert us: and shew thy face, and we shall be saved.

9Thou hast brought a vineyard out of Egypt: thou hast cast cut the Gentiles and planted it.

10Thou wast the guide of its journey in its sight: thou plantedst the roots thereof, and it filled the land.

11The shadow of it covered the hills: and the branches thereof the cedars of God.

12It stretched forth its branches unto the sea, and its boughs unto the river.

13Why hast thou broken down the hedge thereof, so that all they who pass by the way do pluck it?

14The boar out of the wood hath laid it waste: and a singular wild beast hath devoured it.

15Turn again, O God of hosts, look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vineyard:

16And perfect the same which thy right hand hath planted: and upon the son of man whom thou hast confirmed for thyself.

17Things set on fire and dug down shall perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.

18Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand: and upon the son of man whom thou hast confirmed for thyself.

19And we depart not from thee, thou shalt quicken us: and we will call upon thy name.

20O Lord God of hosts, convert us: and shew thy face, and we shall be saved.

1In finem, pro iis qui commutabuntur. Testimonium Asaph, psalmus.

2[Qui regis Israël, intende; qui deducis velut ovem Joseph. Qui sedes super cherubim, manifestare

3coram Ephraim, Benjamin, et Manasse. Excita potentiam tuam, et veni, ut salvos facias nos.

4Deus, converte nos, et ostende faciem tuam, et salvi erimus.

5Domine Deus virtutum, quousque irasceris super orationem servi tui?

6cibabis nos pane lacrimarum, et potum dabis nobis in lacrimis in mensura?

7Posuisti nos in contradictionem vicinis nostris, et inimici nostri subsannaverunt nos.

8Deus virtutum, converte nos, et ostende faciem tuam, et salvi erimus.

9Vineam de Ægypto transtulisti: ejecisti gentes, et plantasti eam.

10Dux itineris fuisti in conspectu ejus; plantasti radices ejus, et implevit terram.

11Operuit montes umbra ejus, et arbusta ejus cedros Dei.

12Extendit palmites suos usque ad mare, et usque ad flumen propagines ejus.

13Ut quid destruxisti maceriam ejus, et vindemiant eam omnes qui prætergrediuntur viam?

14Exterminavit eam aper de silva, et singularis ferus depastus est eam.

15Deus virtutum, convertere, respice de cælo, et vide, et visita vineam istam:

16et perfice eam quam plantavit dextera tua, et super filium hominis quem confirmasti tibi.

17Incensa igni et suffossa, ab increpatione vultus tui peribunt.

18Fiat manus tua super virum dexteræ tuæ, et super filium hominis quem confirmasti tibi.

19Et non discedimus a te: vivificabis nos, et nomen tuum invocabimus.

20Domine Deus virtutum, converte nos, et ostende faciem tuam, et salvi erimus.]

1Unto the end. For those who will be changed. The testimony of Asaph. A Psalm.

2The One who reigns over Israel: Be attentive. For you lead Joseph like a sheep. The One who sits upon the cherubim: Shine forth

3in the presence of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Awaken your power and draw near, so as to accomplish our salvation.

4Convert us, O God. And reveal your face, and we will be saved.

5O Lord, God of hosts, how long will you be angry over the prayer of your servant?

6How long will you feed us the bread of tears, and give us to drink a full measure of tears?

7You have set us as a contradiction to our neighbors. And our enemies have ridiculed us.

8O God of hosts, convert us. And reveal your face, and we will be saved.

9You have transferred a vineyard from Egypt. You have cast out the Gentiles, and planted it.

10You were the leader of the journey in its sight. You planted its roots, and it filled the earth.

11Its shadow covered the hills, and its branches covered the cedars of God.

12It extended its new branches even to the sea, and its new seedlings even to the river.

13So then, why have you destroyed its walls, so that all those who pass by the way gather its grapes?

14The wild boar of the forest has trampled it, and a single wild beast has laid waste to it.

15Turn back, O God of hosts. Look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vineyard;

16and complete what your right hand has planted, and look upon the son of man, whom you have confirmed for yourself.

17Whatever has been set on fire and dug under will perish at the rebuke of your countenance.

18Let your hand be over the man on your right, and over the son of man, whom you have confirmed for yourself.

19For we do not depart from you, and you will revive us. And we will invoke your name.

20O Lord, God of hosts, convert us. And reveal your face, and we will be saved.
