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！

1To the Overseer. — 'On the Lilies.' A testimony of Asaph. — A Psalm. Shepherd of Israel, give ear, Leading Joseph as a flock, Inhabiting the cherubs — shine forth,

2Before Ephraim, and Benjamin, and Manasseh, Wake up Thy might, and come for our salvation.

3O God, cause us to turn back, And cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved.

4Jehovah, God of Hosts, till when? Thou hast burned against the prayer of Thy people.

5Thou hast caused them to eat bread of tears, And causest them to drink With tears a third time.

6Thou makest us a strife to our neighbours, And our enemies mock at it.

7God of Hosts, turn us back, And cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved.

8A vine out of Egypt Thou dost bring, Thou dost cast out nations, and plantest it.

9Thou hast looked before it, and dost root it, And it filleth the land,

10Covered have been hills [with] its shadow, And its boughs [are] cedars of God.

11It sendeth forth its branches unto the sea, And unto the river its sucklings.

12Why hast Thou broken down its hedges, And all passing by the way have plucked it?

13A boar out of the forest doth waste it, And a wild beast of the fields consumeth it.

14God of Hosts, turn back, we beseech Thee, Look from heaven, and see, and inspect this vine,

15And the root that Thy right hand planted, And the branch Thou madest strong for Thee,

16Burnt with fire — cut down, From the rebuke of Thy face they perish.

17Let Thy hand be on the man of Thy right hand, On the son of man Thou hast strengthened for Thyself.

18And we do not go back from Thee, Thou dost revive us, and in Thy name we call.

19O Jehovah, God of Hosts, turn us back, Cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved!
