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. El-sjosjannim-edut. Af Asaf. En Salme.
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!
Lyt til, du Israels Hyrde, der ledede Josef som en Hjord, træd frem i Glans, du, som troner paa Keruber,
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.]
for Efraims, Benjamins og Manasses Øjne; opbyd atter din Vælde og kom til vor 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?
Hærskarers Gud, bring os atter paa Fode, lad dit Ansigt lyse, at vi maa frelses!
5 [It is as though] the only food and drink that you have given us is a cup full of our tears!
HERRE, Hærskarers Gud, hvor længe vredes du trods din Tjeners 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 givet os Taarebrød at spise, Taarer at drikke i bredfuldt 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 har gjort os til Stridsemne for vore Naboer, vore Fjender haaner 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.
Hærskarers Gud, bring os atter paa Fode, lad dit Ansigt lyse, at vi maa frelses!
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 rykked en Vinstok op i Ægypten, drev Folkeslag bort 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 rydded og skaffed den Plads, den slog Rod og fyldte Landet;
11 [your people ruled all of Canaan], from the [Mediterranean] Sea [in the west] to the [Euphrates] River [in the east].
Bjergene skjultes af dens Skygge, Guds Cedre af dens Ranker;
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 bredte sine Skud til Havet og sine Kviste til Floden.
13 and wild pigs [can] trample [the vines], and wild animals [can also] eat [the grapes].
Hvorfor har du nedbrudt dens Hegn, saa alle vejfarende plukker deraf?
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,
Skovens Vildsvin gnaver deri, Dyrene paa Marken æder den op!
15 who are [like] the young vine that you [SYN] planted and caused to grow!
Hærskarers Gud, vend tilbage, sku ned fra Himlen og se! Drag Omsorg for denne Vinstok,
16 Our enemies have torn down and burned everything in our land; look at them angrily and get rid of them!
for Skuddet, din højre planted!
17 But strengthen [us] people whom you have chosen [IDM], [us] Israeli people whom you [previously] caused to be very strong.
Lad dem, der sved den og hugged den sønder, gaa til for dit Aasyns 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 højres Mand, det Menneskebarn, du opfostred 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]!
Da viger vi ikke fra dig, hold os i Live, saa paakalder vi dit Navn! HERRE, Hærskarers Gud, bring os atter paa Fode, lad dit Ansigt lyse, at vi maa frelses!
