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
For the Chief Musician; set to Shoshannim Eduth. A Psalm of Asaph. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that sittest upon the cherubim, shine forth.
2 coram Ephraim, Benjamin, et Manasse. Excita potentiam tuam, et veni, ut salvos facias nos.
Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up thy might, 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 LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
5 cibabis nos pane lacrimarum, et potum dabis nobis in lacrimis in mensura?
Thou hast 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 makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.
7 Deus virtutum, converte nos, et ostende faciem tuam, et salvi erimus.

8 Vineam de Ægypto transtulisti: ejecisti gentes, et plantasti eam.
Thou broughtest a vine out of Egypt: thou didst drive out the nations, and plantedst it.
9 Dux itineris fuisti in conspectu ejus; plantasti radices ejus, et implevit terram.
Thou preparedst [room] 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 thereof were [like] cedars of God.
11 Extendit palmites suos usque ad mare, et usque ad flumen propagines ejus.
She sent out her branches unto the sea, and her shoots unto the River.
12 Ut quid destruxisti maceriam ejus, et vindemiant eam omnes qui prætergrediuntur viam?
Why hast thou broken down her fences, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?
13 Exterminavit eam aper de silva, et singularis ferus depastus est eam.
The boar out of the wood doth ravage 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 hath planted, and the branch that thou madest 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 madest strong for thyself.
18 Et non discedimus a te: vivificabis nos, et nomen tuum invocabimus.
So shall we not go back from thee: quicken 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 LORD God of hosts; cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
