The Psalms
capítulo 80
verso 1
For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “The Lilies of the Covenant.” A Psalm by Asaph. Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock, you who sit above the cherubim, shine out.
verso 2
Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, stir up your might! Come to save us!
verso 3
Turn us again, God. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.
verso 4
Yahweh God of Armies, how long will you be angry against the prayer of your people?
verso 5
You have fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in large measure.
verso 6
You make us a source of contention to our neighbors. Our enemies laugh among themselves.
verso 7
Turn us again, God of Armies. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.
verso 8
You brought a vine out of Egypt. You drove out the nations, and planted it.
verso 9
You cleared the ground for it. It took deep root, and filled the land.
verso 10
The mountains were covered with its shadow. Its boughs were like God’s cedars.
verso 11
It sent out its branches to the sea, its shoots to the River.
verso 12
Why have you broken down its walls, so that all those who pass by the way pluck it?
verso 13
The boar out of the wood ravages it. The wild animals of the field feed on it.
verso 14
Turn again, we beg you, God of Armies. Look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vine,
verso 15
the stock which your right hand planted, the branch that you made strong for yourself.
verso 16
It’s burned with fire. It’s cut down. They perish at your rebuke.
verso 17
Let your hand be on the man of your right hand, on the son of man whom you made strong for yourself.
verso 18
So we will not turn away from you. Revive us, and we will call on your name.
verso 19
Turn us again, Yahweh God of Armies. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.
