Psalm 80
For the director of music. A psalm of Asaph to the tune of “The Lilies of the Covenant.”
1Shepherd of Israel, hear us.
You lead the people of Joseph like a flock.
You sit on your throne between the cherubim.
Show your glory
2to the people of Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh.
Call your strength into action.
Come and save us.
3God, make us new again.
May you be pleased with us.
Then we will be saved.
4Lord God, you rule over all.
How long will you be angry?
Will you be angry with your people even when they pray to you?
5You have given us tears as our food.
You have made us drink tears by the bowlful.
6You have let our neighbors mock us.
Our enemies laugh at us.
7God who rules over all, make us new again.
May you be pleased with us.
Then we will be saved.
8You brought Israel out of Egypt.
Israel was like a vine.
After you drove the nations out of Canaan,
you planted the vine in their land.
9You prepared the ground for it.
It took root and spread out over the whole land.
10The mountains were covered with its shade.
The shade of its branches covered the mighty cedar trees.
11Your vine sent its branches out all the way to the Mediterranean Sea.
They reached as far as the Euphrates River.
12Why have you broken down the walls around your vine?
Now all who pass by it can pick its grapes.
13Wild pigs from the forest destroy it.
Insects from the fields feed on it.
14God who rules over all, return to us!
Look down from heaven and see us!
Watch over your vine.
15Guard the root you have planted with your powerful right hand.
Take care of the branch you have raised up for yourself.
16Your vine has been cut down and burned in the fire.
You have been angry with us, and we are dying.
17May you honor the people at your right hand.
May you honor the nation you have raised up for yourself.
18Then we won’t turn away from you.
Give us new life. We will worship you.
19Lord God who rules over all, make us new again.
May you be pleased with us.
Then we will be saved.
第 80 篇
为国家复兴祈求
亚萨的诗，交给乐长，调用“作证的百合花”。
1-2以色列的牧者啊，
你像照顾羊群一样带领约瑟的子孙，
求你垂听我们的祈祷。
坐在基路伯天使之上的耶和华啊，
求你向以法莲、便雅悯和玛拿西发出光辉，
求你施展大能来拯救我们。
3上帝啊，求你复兴我们，
用你脸上的荣光照耀我们，
使我们得救。
4万军之上帝耶和华啊，
你因你子民的祷告而发怒，
要到何时呢？
5你使我们以泪洗面，
以哀伤果腹，
6又使我们成为邻国争夺的对象，
仇敌都嘲笑我们。
7万军之上帝啊，
求你复兴我们，
用你脸上的荣光照耀我们，
使我们得救。
8你从埃及带出一棵葡萄树，
赶走外族人，把它栽种起来。
9你为它开垦土地，
它就扎根生长，布满这片土地。
10它的树荫遮盖群山，
枝子遮蔽香柏树。
11它的枝条延伸到地中海，
嫩枝伸展到幼发拉底河。
12你为何拆毁了它的篱笆，
让路人随意摘取葡萄呢？
13林中的野猪蹂躏它，
野兽吞吃它。
14万军之上帝啊，
求你回来，
求你在天上垂顾我们这棵葡萄树，
15这棵你亲手栽种和培育的葡萄树。
16这树被砍倒，被焚烧，
愿你发怒毁灭仇敌。
17求你扶持你所拣选的人，你为自己所养育的人。
18我们必不再背弃你，
求你复兴我们，
我们必敬拜你。
19万军之上帝耶和华啊，
求你复兴我们，
用你脸上的荣光照耀我们，
使我们得救。
