Psalms 80
1 [Yahweh], you [who lead us like] a shepherd leads his flock [of sheep], listen to us Israeli people. You sit on your throne [in the Very Holy Place in the temple], above the [carvings of] winged creatures.
Til Sangmesteren; til „Lillierne‟; et Vidnesbyrd; af Asaf, en Psalme.
2 Show yourself to [the people of the tribes of] Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh! Show us that you are powerful and come and rescue us!
Du Israels Hyrde! vend dine Øren hid, du, der leder Josef som en Hjord, du, som sidder over Keruber, aabenbar dig herligt!
3 God, cause our nation to be strong like it was before; be kind to us [IDM] in order that we may be saved [from our enemies.]
Rejs din Magt for Efraim og Benjamin og Manasse og kom os til Frelse!
4 Yahweh, you who are the commander of the armies of heaven, how long will you be angry with us, your people, when we pray to you?
Gud! hjælp os op igen og lad dit Ansigt lyse, saa blive vi frelste!
5 [It is as though] the only food and drink that you have given us is a cup full of our tears!
Herre, Gud Zebaoth! hvor længe har du ladet Vreden ryge uagtet dit Folks Bøn?
6 You have allowed the people-groups that surround us to fight with [each other to decide which part of our land each of them will take]; our enemies laugh at us.
Du har bespist dem med Taarebrød og givet dem Taarer at drikke i fulde Maal.
7 God, commander of the armies of heaven, cause our nation to be strong like it was before! Be kind to us in order that we may be saved!
Du sætter os til en Trætte for vore Naboer, og vore Fjender spotte os.
8 [Our ancestors were like] a grapevine [MET] that you brought out of Egypt; you expelled the other people-groups [from this land], and you put your people in their land.
Gud Zebaoth! hjælp os op igen og lad dit Ansigt lyse, saa blive vi frelste.
9 [Like people] clear ground to plant a grapevine [MET], [you cleared out the people who were living in this land for us to live in it]. [Like] the roots of a grapevine go deep down into the ground and spread [MET], [you enabled our ancestors to prosper and start living in towns all over this land].
Du førte en Vinstok fra Ægypten, du uddrev Hedningerne og plantede den.
10 [Like huge] grapevines cover the hills with their shade and their branches are taller than big cedar [trees] [MET, HYP],
Du ryddede for den, og den lod sine Rødder rodfæstes og opfyldte Landet.
11 [your people ruled all of Canaan], from the [Mediterranean] Sea [in the west] to the [Euphrates] River [in the east].
Bjerge bleve skjulte med dens Skygge, og dens Grene vare som Guds Cedre.
12 So why have you abandoned us and [allowed our enemies to] tear down our walls [RHQ]? [You are like] someone who tears down the fences [around his vineyard], with the result that all [the people] who pass by [can] steal the grapes,
Den udbreder sine Grene til Havet og sine unge Kviste til Floden.
13 and wild pigs [can] trample [the vines], and wild animals [can also] eat [the grapes].
Hvorfor har du nedrevet Gærdet om den, saa at alle de, som gaa forbi ad Vejen, plukke i den?
14 You who are the commander of the armies of heaven, (turn to/stop abandoning) us! Look down from heaven and see [what is happening to] us! Come and rescue [us who are like] [MET] your grapevine,
Svinet fra Skoven roder om den, og vilde Dyr paa Marken afæde den.
15 who are [like] the young vine that you [SYN] planted and caused to grow!
Gud Zebaoth! vend dog om; sku ned af Himmelen og se til og besøg denne Vinstok
16 Our enemies have torn down and burned everything in our land; look at them angrily and get rid of them!
og den Pode, som din højre Haand plantede, og den Søn, som du gjorde stærk for dig.
17 But strengthen [us] people whom you have chosen [IDM], [us] Israeli people whom you [previously] caused to be very strong.
Den er brændt med Ild, den er omhugget; de omkomme for dit Ansigts Trusel.
18 When you do that, we will never turn away from you again; (revive us/cause us to be again like we were previously), and [then] we will praise/worship you.
Lad din Haand være over, din højre Haands Mand, over den Menneskens Søn, som du gjorde stærk for dig.
19 Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, restore us; be kind to us in order that we may be rescued [from our enemies]!
Saa ville vi ikke vige fra dig; lad du os leve, og vi ville paakalde dit Navn. Herre, Gud Zebaoth; hjælp os op igen, lad dit Ansigt lyse, saa blive vi frelste.
