Psalmorum 80
1 In finem, pro iis qui commutabuntur. Testimonium Asaph, psalmus. Qui regis Israël, intende; qui deducis velut ovem Joseph. Qui sedes super cherubim, manifestare
Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou who lead Joseph like a flock. Thou who sit above the cherubim, shine forth.
2 coram Ephraim, Benjamin, et Manasse. Excita potentiam tuam, et veni, ut salvos facias nos.
Stir up thy might before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, and come to save us.
3 Deus, converte nos, et ostende faciem tuam, et salvi erimus.
Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
4 Domine Deus virtutum, quousque irasceris super orationem servi tui?
O Jehovah God of hosts, how long will thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
5 cibabis nos pane lacrimarum, et potum dabis nobis in lacrimis in mensura?
Thou have fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in large measure.
6 Posuisti nos in contradictionem vicinis nostris, et inimici nostri subsannaverunt nos.
Thou make us hatred to our neighbors, and our enemies laugh among themselves.
7 Deus virtutum, converte nos, et ostende faciem tuam, et salvi erimus.
Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
8 Vineam de Ægypto transtulisti: ejecisti gentes, et plantasti eam.
Thou brought a vine out of Egypt. Thou drove out the nations, and planted it.
9 Dux itineris fuisti in conspectu ejus; plantasti radices ejus, et implevit terram.
Thou prepared place before it, and it took deep root, and filled the land.
10 Operuit montes umbra ejus, et arbusta ejus cedros Dei.
The mountains were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs of it were like cedars of God.
11 Extendit palmites suos usque ad mare, et usque ad flumen propagines ejus.
It sent out its branches to the sea, and its shoots to the River.
12 Ut quid destruxisti maceriam ejus, et vindemiant eam omnes qui prætergrediuntur viam?
Why have thou broken down its walls, so that all those who pass by the way pluck it?
13 Exterminavit eam aper de silva, et singularis ferus depastus est eam.
The boar out of the wood ravages it, and the wild beasts of the field feed on it.
14 Deus virtutum, convertere, respice de cælo, et vide, et visita vineam istam:
Turn again, we beseech thee, O God of hosts. Look down from heaven, and, behold, and visit this vine,
15 et perfice eam quam plantavit dextera tua, et super filium hominis quem confirmasti tibi.
and the stock which thy right hand planted, and the branch that thou made strong for thyself.
16 Incensa igni et suffossa, ab increpatione vultus tui peribunt.
It is burned with fire, it is cut down. They perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
17 Fiat manus tua super virum dexteræ tuæ, et super filium hominis quem confirmasti tibi.
Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou made strong for thyself,
18 Et non discedimus a te: vivificabis nos, et nomen tuum invocabimus.
so shall we not go back from thee. Revive thou us, and we will call upon thy name.
19 Domine Deus virtutum, converte nos, et ostende faciem tuam, et salvi erimus.
Turn us again, O Jehovah God of hosts, cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
