Psalms

亚萨的诗，交与伶长。调用为证的百合花。

1领约瑟如领羊群之以色列的牧者啊，求你留心听！ 坐在二基路伯上的啊，求你发出光来！

2在以法莲、便雅悯、玛拿西前面 施展你的大能，来救我们。

3神啊，求你使我们回转， 使你的脸发光，我们便要得救！

4耶和华—万军之 神啊， 你向你百姓的祷告发怒，要到几时呢？

5你以眼泪当食物给他们吃， 又多量出眼泪给他们喝。

6你使邻邦因我们纷争； 我们的仇敌彼此戏笑。

7万军之 神啊，求你使我们回转， 使你的脸发光，我们便要得救！

8你从埃及挪出一棵葡萄树， 赶出外邦人，把这树栽上。

9你在这树根前预备了地方， 它就深深扎根，爬满了地。

10它的影子遮满了山， 枝子好像佳美的香柏树。

11它发出枝子，长到大海， 发出蔓子，延到大河。

12你为何拆毁这树的篱笆， 任凭一切过路的人摘取？

13林中出来的野猪把它糟踏； 野地的走兽拿它当食物。

14万军之 神啊，求你回转！ 从天上垂看，眷顾这葡萄树，

15保护你右手所栽的 和你为自己所坚固的枝子。

16这树已经被火焚烧，被刀砍伐； 他们因你脸上的怒容就灭亡了。

17愿你的手扶持你右边的人， 就是你为自己所坚固的人子。

18这样，我们便不退后离开你； 求你救活我们，我们就要求告你的名。

19耶和华—万军之 神啊，求你使我们回转， 使你的脸发光，我们便要得救！

For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Lilies of the Covenant.” A Psalm of Asaph.

1Hear us, O Shepherd of Israel,who leads Joseph like a flock;You who sit enthroned between the cherubim,shine forth

2before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh.Rally Your mighty powerand come to save us.

3Restore us, O God,and cause Your face to shine upon us, that we may be saved.

4O LORD God of Hosts,how long will Your anger smolder against the prayers of Your people?

5You fed them with the bread of tearsand made them drink the full measure of their tears.

6You make us contend with our neighbors;our enemies mock us.

7Restore us, O God of Hosts,and cause Your face to shine upon us, that we may be saved.

8You uprooted a vine from Egypt;You drove out the nations and transplanted it.

9You cleared the ground for it,and it took root and filled the land.

10The mountains were covered by its shade,and the mighty cedars with its branches.

11It sent out its branches to the Sea,and its shoots toward the River.

12Why have You broken down its walls,so that all who pass by pick its fruit?

13The boar from the forest ravages it,and the creatures of the field feed upon it.

14Return, O God of Hosts, we pray!Look down from heaven and see!Attend to this vine—

15the root Your right hand has planted, the son You have raised up for Yourself.

16Your vine has been cut down and burned;they perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.

17Let Your hand be upon the man at Your right hand,on the son of man You have raised up for Yourself.

18Then we will not turn away from You;revive us, and we will call on Your name.

19Restore us, O LORD God of Hosts;cause Your face to shine upon us, that we may be saved.
