Psalms 80
1 For the Leader; upon Shoshannim. A testimony. A Psalm of Asaph. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, Thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; Thou that art enthroned upon the cherubim, shine forth.
(Til Sangmesteren. El-sjosjannim-edut. Af Asaf. En Salme.) Lyt til, du Israels Hyrde, der leder Josef som en Hjord, træd frem i Glans, du, som troner på Keruber,
2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up Thy might, and come to save us.
for Efraims, Benjamins og Manasses Øjne; opbyd atter din Vælde og kom til vor Frelse!
3 O God, restore us; and cause Thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
Hærskarers Gud, bring os atter på Fode, lad dit Ansigt lyse, at vi må frelses!
4 O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt Thou be angry against the prayer of Thy people?
HERRE, Hærskarers Gud, hvor længe vredes du trods din Tjeners Bøn?
5 Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in large measure.
Du har givet os Tårebrød at spise, Tårer at drikke i bredfuldt Mål.
6 Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours; and our enemies mock as they please.
Du har gjort os til Stridsemne for vore Naboer, vore Fjender håner os.
7 O God of hosts, restore us; and cause Thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
Hærskarers Gud, bring os atter på Fode, lad dit Ansigt lyse, at vi må frelses!
8 Thou didst pluck up a vine out of Egypt; Thou didst drive out the nations, and didst plant it.
Du rykked en Vinstok op i Ægypten, drev Folkeslag bort og plantede den;
9 Thou didst clear a place before it, and it took deep root, and filled the land.
du rydded og skaffed den Plads, den slog Rod og fyldte Landet;
10 The mountains were covered with the shadow of it, and the mighty cedars with the boughs thereof.
Bjergene skjultes af dens Skygge. Guds Cedre af dens Ranker;
11 She sent out her branches unto the sea, and her shoots unto the River.
den bredte sine Skud til Havet og sine kviste til Floden.
12 Why hast Thou broken down her fences, so that all they that pass by the way do pluck her?
Hvorfor har du nedbrudt dens Hegn, så alle vejfarende plukker deraf?
13 The boar out of the wood doth ravage it, that which moveth in the field feedeth on it.
Skovens Vildsvin gnaver deri, Dyrene på Marken æder den op!
14 O God of hosts, return, we beseech Thee; look from heaven, and behold, and be mindful of this vine,
Hærskarers Gud, vend tilbage, sku ned fra Himlen og se! Drag Omsorg for denne Vinstok,
15 And of the stock which Thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that Thou madest strong for Thyself.
for Skuddet, din højre planted!
16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down; they perish at the rebuke of Thy countenance.
Lad dem, der sved den og huggede den sønder, gå til for dit Åsyns Trussel!
17 Let Thy hand be upon the man of Thy right hand, upon the son of man whom Thou madest strong for Thyself.
Lad din Hånd være over din højres Mand, det Menneskebarn, du opfostrede dig!
18 So shall we not turn back from Thee; quicken Thou us, and we will call upon Thy name.
Da viger vi ikke fra dig, hold os i Live, så påkalder vi dit Navn!
19 O LORD God of hosts, restore us; cause Thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
HERRE, Hærskarers Gud, bring os atter på Fode, lad dit Ansigt lyse, at vi må frelses!
