Ps 80

FFor the Chief Musician. To the tune of “The Lilies of the Covenant.” A Psalm by Asaph. Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock, you who sit above the cherubim, shine out. (MT 80:2; LXX 79:1; LXX 79:2; Rahlfs 79:1; Rahlfs 79:2) לַמְנַצֵּ֥חַ אֶל־שֹׁשַׁנִּ֑ים עֵד֖וּת לְאָסָ֣ף מִזְמֽוֹר׃ 2Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, stir up your might! Come to save us! (MT 80:3; LXX 79:3; Rahlfs 79:3) רֹ֘עֵ֤ה יִשְׂרָאֵ֨ל ׀ הַאֲזִ֗ינָה נֹהֵ֣ג כַּצֹּ֣אן יוֹסֵ֑ף יֹשֵׁ֖ב הַכְּרוּבִ֣ים הוֹפִֽיעָה׃ 3Turn us again, God. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved. (MT 80:4; LXX 79:4; Rahlfs 79:4) לִפְנֵ֤י אֶפְרַ֨יִם ׀ וּבִנְיָ֘מִ֤ן וּמְנַשֶּׁ֗ה עוֹרְרָ֥ה אֶת־גְּבֽוּרָתֶ֑ךָ וּלְכָ֖ה לִישֻׁעָ֣תָה לָּֽנוּ׃ 4Yahweh God of Armies, how long will you be angry against the prayer of your people? (MT 80:5; LXX 79:5; Rahlfs 79:5) אֱלֹהִ֥ים הֲשִׁיבֵ֑נוּ וְהָאֵ֥ר פָּ֝נֶ֗יךָ וְנִוָּשֵֽׁעָה׃ 5You have fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in large measure. (MT 80:6; LXX 79:6; Rahlfs 79:6) יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהִ֣ים צְבָא֑וֹת עַד־מָתַ֥י עָ֝שַׁ֗נְתָּ בִּתְפִלַּ֥ת עַמֶּֽךָ׃ 6You make us a source of contention to our neighbors. Our enemies laugh among themselves. (MT 80:7; LXX 79:7; Rahlfs 79:7) הֶ֭אֱכַלְתָּם לֶ֣חֶם דִּמְעָ֑ה וַ֝תַּשְׁקֵ֗מוֹ בִּדְמָע֥וֹת שָׁלִֽישׁ׃ 7Turn us again, God of Armies. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved. (MT 80:8; LXX 79:8; Rahlfs 79:8) תְּשִׂימֵ֣נוּ מָ֭דוֹן לִשְׁכֵנֵ֑ינוּ וְ֝אֹיְבֵ֗ינוּ יִלְעֲגוּ־לָֽמוֹ׃ 8You brought a vine out of Egypt. You drove out the nations, and planted it. (MT 80:9; LXX 79:9; Rahlfs 79:9) אֱלֹהִ֣ים צְבָא֣וֹת הֲשִׁיבֵ֑נוּ וְהָאֵ֥ר פָּ֝נֶ֗יךָ וְנִוָּשֵֽׁעָה׃ 9You cleared the ground for it. It took deep root, and filled the land. (MT 80:10; LXX 79:10; Rahlfs 79:10) גֶּ֭פֶן מִמִּצְרַ֣יִם תַּסִּ֑יעַ תְּגָרֵ֥שׁ גּ֝וֹיִ֗ם וַתִּטָּעֶֽהָ׃ 10The mountains were covered with its shadow. Its boughs were like God’s cedars. (MT 80:11; LXX 79:11; Rahlfs 79:11) פִּנִּ֥יתָ לְפָנֶ֑יהָ וַתַּשְׁרֵ֥שׁ שָׁ֝רָשֶׁ֗יהָ וַתְּמַלֵּא־אָֽרֶץ׃ 11It sent out its branches to the sea, its shoots to the River. (MT 80:12; LXX 79:12; Rahlfs 79:12) כָּסּ֣וּ הָרִ֣ים צִלָּ֑הּ וַ֝עֲנָפֶ֗יהָ אַֽרְזֵי־אֵֽל׃ 12Why have you broken down its walls, so that all those who pass by the way pluck it? (MT 80:13; LXX 79:13; Rahlfs 79:13) תְּשַׁלַּ֣ח קְצִירֶ֣הָ עַד־יָ֑ם וְאֶל־נָ֝הָ֗ר יֽוֹנְקוֹתֶֽיהָ׃ 13The boar out of the wood ravages it. The wild animals of the field feed on it. (MT 80:14; LXX 79:14; Rahlfs 79:14) לָ֭מָּה פָּרַ֣צְתָּ גְדֵרֶ֑יהָ וְ֝אָר֗וּהָ כָּל־עֹ֥בְרֵי דָֽרֶךְ׃ 14Turn again, we beg you, God of Armies. Look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vine, (MT 80:15; LXX 79:15; Rahlfs 79:15) יְכַרְסְמֶ֣נָּֽה חֲזִ֣יר מִיָּ֑עַר וְזִ֖יז שָׂדַ֣י יִרְעֶֽנָּה׃ 15the stock which your right hand planted, the branch that you made strong for yourself. (MT 80:16; LXX 79:16; Rahlfs 79:16) אֱלֹהִ֣ים צְבָאוֹת֮ שֽׁ֫וּב־נָ֥א הַבֵּ֣ט מִשָּׁמַ֣יִם וּרְאֵ֑ה וּ֝פְקֹ֗ד גֶּ֣פֶן זֹֽאת׃ 16It’s burned with fire. It’s cut down. They perish at your rebuke. (MT 80:17; LXX 79:17; Rahlfs 79:17) וְ֭כַנָּה אֲשֶׁר־נָטְעָ֣ה יְמִינֶ֑ךָ וְעַל־בֵּ֝֗ן אִמַּ֥צְתָּה לָּֽךְ׃ 17Let your hand be on the man of your right hand, on the son of man whom you made strong for yourself. (MT 80:18; LXX 79:18; Rahlfs 79:18) שְׂרֻפָ֣ה בָאֵ֣שׁ כְּסוּחָ֑ה מִגַּעֲרַ֖ת פָּנֶ֣יךָ יֹאבֵֽדוּ׃ 18So we will not turn away from you. Revive us, and we will call on your name. (MT 80:19; LXX 79:19; Rahlfs 79:19) תְּֽהִי־יָ֭דְךָ עַל־אִ֣ישׁ יְמִינֶ֑ךָ עַל־בֶּן־אָ֝דָ֗ם אִמַּ֥צְתָּ לָּֽךְ׃ 19Turn us again, Yahweh God of Armies. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved. (MT 80:20; LXX 79:20; Rahlfs 79:20) וְלֹא־נָס֥וֹג מִמֶּ֑ךָּ תְּ֝חַיֵּ֗נוּ וּבְשִׁמְךָ֥ נִקְרָֽא׃
