詩篇 77-80
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
患難中的安慰
亞薩的詩，照耶杜頓的做法，交給樂長。
77 我呼求上帝，我高聲呼求，
上帝垂聽我的禱告。
2 我在困境中尋求主。
我整夜舉手禱告，
我的心無法得到安慰。
3 我思想上帝，發出哀歎；
我默想，心靈疲憊不堪。（細拉）
4 你使我無法合眼，
我心亂如麻，默然無語。
5 我回想從前的日子，
那久遠的歲月，
6 想起自己夜間所唱的歌。
我沉思默想，捫心自問：
7 「難道主要永遠丟棄我，
不再恩待我了嗎？
8 難道祂的慈愛永遠消逝了嗎？
祂的應許永遠落空了嗎？
9 難道上帝已忘記施恩，
在憤怒中收回了祂的慈愛嗎？」（細拉）
10 於是我說：「我感到悲傷的是，
至高者已不再彰顯大能。」
11 耶和華啊，我要回想你的作為，
回想你從前所行的奇事。
12 我要默想你所行的一切事，
思想你一切大能的作為。
13 上帝啊，你的作為全然聖潔，
有哪個神明像你一樣偉大？
14 你是行奇事的上帝，
你在列邦中彰顯你的大能。
15 你以大能救贖了你的子民，
就是雅各和約瑟的後代。（細拉）
16 上帝啊，海水看見你就戰慄，
深淵看見你就顫抖。
17 雲層倒出雨水，
天上雷霆霹靂，電光四射。
18 旋風中傳來你的雷聲，
你的閃電照亮世界，
大地顫抖震動。
19 你的道路穿越海洋，經過洪濤，
但你的足跡無人看見。
20 你藉著摩西和亞倫的手引領你的子民，
如同牧人引領羊群。
上帝引導祂的子民
亞薩的訓誨詩。
78 我的百姓啊！
你們要聽我的教導，
側耳傾聽我的話。
2 我要開口講比喻，
道出古時的奧秘，
3 是我們所聞所知、世代流傳下來的事。
4 我們不要在子孫面前隱瞞事實，
要把耶和華當受稱頌的作為、
祂的權能和所行的奇事告訴下一代。
5 因為祂為雅各制定法度，
為以色列設立律法，
又吩咐我們的祖先把這些律法傳給兒女，
6 好讓他們也照樣教導自己的子孫後代，
世代相傳。
7 這樣，他們就會信靠上帝，
遵行祂的命令，
不忘記祂的作為；
8 也不會像自己的祖先那樣頑梗叛逆，
對上帝不忠，心懷二意。
9 以法蓮人備上了弓箭，
卻臨陣逃命。
10 他們不遵守上帝的約，
拒絕遵行祂的律法。
11 他們忘記了祂的作為，
忘記了祂為他們所行的奇事。
12 祂曾在埃及，在瑣安當著他們祖先的面行神蹟。
13 祂把海水分開，
帶領他們安然渡過；
祂使海水堆起如牆壁。
14 祂白天以雲柱帶領他們，
晚上用火柱引導他們。
15 祂在曠野劈開磐石，
供應他們豐沛的水源。
16 祂使水從磐石中滾滾流出，
如滔滔江河。
17 然而，他們仍舊犯罪，
在曠野反叛至高的上帝。
18 他們頑梗地試探上帝，
索要他們想吃的食物。
19 他們抱怨上帝，說：
「難道上帝可以在曠野擺宴席嗎？
20 祂擊打磐石，
水就湧出，流淌成河，
但祂能賜給我們——祂的子民食物和肉嗎？」
21 耶和華聽後大怒，
祂的怒火燒向雅各，
祂的怒氣撒向以色列。
22 因為他們不相信上帝，也不信靠祂的拯救。
23 祂向穹蒼發出命令，
又打開天門，
24 降下嗎哪給他們吃，賜下天糧。
25 他們吃了天使的食物，
上帝賜給他們豐富的食物。
26 祂使空中颳起東風，
用大能引來南風，
27 使飛鳥像雨點一般降在他們當中，多如塵埃，
使他們有多如海沙的肉吃。
28 祂使飛鳥降落在他們營中的帳篷周圍，
29 讓他們盡情地吃，
遂了他們的心願。
30 但是，他們還沒有吃完，
肉還在口中的時候，
31 上帝就向他們發怒，
殺掉了他們當中最強壯的，
消滅了以色列的青年。
32 即使如此，
他們依舊犯罪，
不相信上帝奇妙的作為。
33 所以上帝使他們虛度一生，
讓他們的歲月充滿恐懼。
34 直到上帝擊殺他們的時候，
他們才回轉，誠心尋求上帝。
35 他們才想起上帝是他們的磐石，
至高的上帝是他們的救贖主。
36 他們卻虛情假意，滿口謊言。
37 他們不忠於祂，
也不信守祂的約。
38 但上帝充滿憐憫，
赦免了他們的罪，
沒有毀滅他們。
祂多次收住怒氣，
沒有完全發出祂的烈怒。
39 祂顧念他們不過是血肉之軀，
像一陣風轉眼消逝。
40 他們在曠野屢屢反叛祂，
使祂傷心。
41 他們再三試探上帝，
惹以色列的聖者發怒。
42 他們忘記了祂的大能，
忘記了祂救他們脫離壓迫的日子，
43 也忘記了祂在埃及所行的神蹟，
在瑣安的田野所行的奇事。
44 祂曾使江河溪流變成血，
以致無人能喝。
45 祂曾使成群的蒼蠅吞沒他們，
使青蛙毀滅他們。
46 祂將他們的五穀賞給蚱蜢，
讓蝗蟲吃盡他們的收成。
47 祂用冰雹毀壞他們的葡萄樹，
用嚴霜毀壞他們的無花果樹，
48 又用冰雹毀滅他們的牛群，
用閃電毀滅他們的牲畜。
49 祂把怒火、烈怒、憤恨和禍患傾倒在他們身上，
遣下一群降災的天使。
50 祂的怒氣盡發，
使他們被瘟疫吞噬，難逃一死。
51 祂擊殺了埃及人所有的長子，
就是含帳篷中頭生的兒子。
52 祂領出自己的子民，
好像領出羊群，
引領他們經過曠野，
53 使他們一路平安，免受驚嚇，
大海卻淹沒了他們的仇敵。
54 祂帶領自己的子民來到聖地的邊界，
來到祂親手為他們預備的山區，
55 從他們面前趕出外族人，
把外族人的土地分給他們，
作為他們的產業，
使以色列各支派安頓下來。
56 可是，他們仍舊試探上帝，
反叛至高者，不遵行祂的法度。
57 他們跟祖先一樣背信棄義，
像斷弓一樣毫不可靠。
58 他們建造邱壇，惹祂發怒；
他們豎起神像，令祂憤怒。
59 上帝知道了他們的惡行，
怒不可遏，
徹底棄絕了以色列人。
60 祂離棄了設在示羅的聖幕，
就是祂在人間的居所。
61 祂任憑自己的約櫃被人擄去，
讓自己的榮耀落在敵人手中。
62 祂使自己的子民被刀劍殺戮，
向自己的產業大發怒氣。
63 青年被烈火吞噬，
少女無法婚嫁。
64 祭司喪身刀下，
寡婦無法哭喪。
65 那時，主像從睡眠中醒來，
又如酒後醒來的勇士。
66 祂擊退仇敵，
叫他們永遠蒙羞。
67 祂丟棄了約瑟的子孫，
沒有揀選以法蓮支派。
68 祂揀選了猶大支派，
祂所喜愛的錫安山。
69 祂為自己建造高聳的聖所，
使它像大地一樣長存。
70 祂揀選了祂的僕人大衛，
把他從羊圈中召來，
71 讓他離開牧羊的生活，
去牧養祂的子民雅各的後裔，
牧養祂的產業以色列。
72 於是，大衛以正直的心牧養他們，
用靈巧的手帶領他們。
祈求上帝拯救
亞薩的詩。
79 上帝啊，
外族人侵佔你的產業，
玷污你的聖殿，
使耶路撒冷淪為廢墟。
2 他們把你僕人的屍體餵飛鳥，
把你忠心子民的屍體給野獸吃，
3 使耶路撒冷周圍血流成河，
屍體無人埋葬。
4 我們成了列國羞辱的對象，
周圍的人都嗤笑、譏諷我們。
5 耶和華啊，你向我們發怒，
要到何時呢？
難道要到永遠嗎？
你的怒火要燒到何時呢？
6 求你把烈怒撒向那些不承認你的列邦，
撒向那些不求告你的列國。
7 因為他們吞噬了雅各，
摧毀了他的家園。
8 求你不要向我們追討我們祖先的罪，
願你快快地憐憫我們，
因為我們已經落入絕望中。
9 拯救我們的上帝啊，
求你為了自己榮耀的名而幫助我們，
為你名的緣故拯救我們，
赦免我們的罪。
10 為何讓列邦說：
「他們的上帝在哪裡？」
求你讓我們親眼看見，
也讓列邦都知道，
你為自己被害的子民伸冤。
11 求你垂聽被囚之人的哀歎，
求你用大能的臂膀留住死囚的性命。
12 主啊，我們的鄰邦羞辱你，
求你以七倍的羞辱來報應他們。
13 這樣，你的子民，你草場上的羊必永遠稱謝你，世代稱頌你。
為國家復興祈求
亞薩的詩，交給樂長，調用「作證的百合花」。
80 1-2 以色列的牧者啊，
你像照顧羊群一樣帶領約瑟的子孫，
求你垂聽我們的祈禱。
坐在基路伯天使之上的耶和華啊，
求你向以法蓮、便雅憫和瑪拿西發出光輝，
求你施展大能來拯救我們。
3 上帝啊，求你復興我們，
用你臉上的榮光照耀我們，
使我們得救。
4 萬軍之上帝耶和華啊，
你因你子民的禱告而發怒，
要到何時呢？
5 你使我們以淚洗面，
以哀傷果腹，
6 又使我們成為鄰國爭奪的對象，
仇敵都嘲笑我們。
7 萬軍之上帝啊，
求你復興我們，
用你臉上的榮光照耀我們，
使我們得救。
8 你從埃及帶出一棵葡萄樹，
趕走外族人，把它栽種起來。
9 你為它開墾土地，
它就扎根生長，佈滿這片土地。
10 它的樹蔭遮蓋群山，
枝子遮蔽香柏樹。
11 它的枝條延伸到地中海，
嫩枝伸展到幼發拉底河。
12 你為何拆毀了它的籬笆，
讓路人隨意摘取葡萄呢？
13 林中的野豬蹂躪它，
野獸吞吃它。
14 萬軍之上帝啊，
求你回來，
求你在天上垂顧我們這棵葡萄樹，
15 這棵你親手栽種和培育的葡萄樹。
16 這樹被砍倒，被焚燒，
願你發怒毀滅仇敵。
17 求你扶持你所揀選的人，你為自己所養育的人。
18 我們必不再背棄你，
求你復興我們，
我們必敬拜你。
19 萬軍之上帝耶和華啊，
求你復興我們，
用你臉上的榮光照耀我們，
使我們得救。

患难中的安慰

77 我呼求上帝，我高声呼求，
上帝垂听我的祷告。
2 我在困境中寻求主。
我整夜举手祷告，
我的心无法得到安慰。
3 我思想上帝，发出哀叹；
我默想，心灵疲惫不堪。（细拉）
4 你使我无法合眼，
我心乱如麻，默然无语。
5 我回想从前的日子，
那久远的岁月，
6 想起自己夜间所唱的歌。
我沉思默想，扪心自问：
7 “难道主要永远丢弃我，
不再恩待我了吗？
8 难道祂的慈爱永远消逝了吗？
祂的应许永远落空了吗？
9 难道上帝已忘记施恩，
在愤怒中收回了祂的慈爱吗？”（细拉）
10 于是我说：“我感到悲伤的是，
至高者已不再彰显大能。”
11 耶和华啊，我要回想你的作为，
回想你从前所行的奇事。
12 我要默想你所行的一切事，
思想你一切大能的作为。
13 上帝啊，你的作为全然圣洁，
有哪个神明像你一样伟大？
14 你是行奇事的上帝，
你在列邦中彰显你的大能。
15 你以大能救赎了你的子民，
就是雅各和约瑟的后代。（细拉）
16 上帝啊，海水看见你就战栗，
深渊看见你就颤抖。
17 云层倒出雨水，
天上雷霆霹雳，电光四射。
18 旋风中传来你的雷声，
你的闪电照亮世界，
大地颤抖震动。
19 你的道路穿越海洋，经过洪涛，
但你的足迹无人看见。
20 你借着摩西和亚伦的手引领你的子民，
如同牧人引领羊群。
上帝引导祂的子民

10 他们不遵守上帝的约，
拒绝遵行祂的律法。
11 他们忘记了祂的作为，
忘记了祂为他们所行的奇事。
12 祂曾在埃及，在琐安当着他们祖先的面行神迹。
13 祂把海水分开，

在旷野反叛至高的上帝。

21 耶和华听后大怒，
祂的怒火烧向雅各，
祂的怒气撒向以色列。
22 因为他们不相信上帝，也不信靠祂的拯救。
23 祂向穹苍发出命令，
又打开天门，
24 降下吗哪给他们吃，赐下天粮。
25 他们吃了天使的食物，
上帝赐给他们丰富的食物。
26 祂使空中刮起东风，
用大能引来南风，
27 使飞鸟像雨点一般降在他们当中，多如尘埃，
使他们有多如海沙的肉吃。
28 祂使飞鸟降落在他们营中的帐篷周围，
29 让他们尽情地吃，
遂了他们的心愿。
30 但是，他们还没有吃完，
肉还在口中的时候，
31 上帝就向他们发怒，
杀掉了他们当中最强壮的，
消灭了以色列的青年。
32 即使如此，
他们依旧犯罪，
不相信上帝奇妙的作为。
33 所以上帝使他们虚度一生，
让他们的岁月充满恐惧。
34 直到上帝击杀他们的时候，
他们才回转，诚心寻求上帝。
35 他们才想起上帝是他们的磐石，
至高的上帝是他们的救赎主。
36 他们却虚情假意，满口谎言。
37 他们不忠于祂，
也不信守祂的约。
38 但上帝充满怜悯，
赦免了他们的罪，
没有毁灭他们。
祂多次收住怒气，
没有完全发出祂的烈怒。
39 祂顾念他们不过是血肉之躯，
像一阵风转眼消逝。
40 他们在旷野屡屡反叛祂，
使祂伤心。
41 他们再三试探上帝，
惹以色列的圣者发怒。
42 他们忘记了祂的大能，
忘记了祂救他们脱离压迫的日子，
43 也忘记了祂在埃及所行的神迹，
在琐安的田野所行的奇事。
44 祂曾使江河溪流变成血，
以致无人能喝。
45 祂曾使成群的苍蝇吞没他们，
使青蛙毁灭他们。
46 祂将他们的五谷赏给蚱蜢，
让蝗虫吃尽他们的收成。
47 祂用冰雹毁坏他们的葡萄树，
用严霜毁坏他们的无花果树，
48 又用冰雹毁灭他们的牛群，
用闪电毁灭他们的牲畜。
49 祂把怒火、烈怒、愤恨和祸患倾倒在他们身上，
遣下一群降灾的天使。
50 祂的怒气尽发，
使他们被瘟疫吞噬，难逃一死。
51 祂击杀了埃及人所有的长子，
就是含帐篷中头生的儿子。
52 祂领出自己的子民，
好像领出羊群，
引领他们经过旷野，
53 使他们一路平安，免受惊吓，
大海却淹没了他们的仇敌。
54 祂带领自己的子民来到圣地的边界，
来到祂亲手为他们预备的山区，
55 从他们面前赶出外族人，
把外族人的土地分给他们，
作为他们的产业，
使以色列各支派安顿下来。
56 可是，他们仍旧试探上帝，
反叛至高者，不遵行祂的法度。
57 他们跟祖先一样背信弃义，
像断弓一样毫不可靠。
58 他们建造丘坛，惹祂发怒；
他们竖起神像，令祂愤怒。
59 上帝知道了他们的恶行，
怒不可遏，
彻底弃绝了以色列人。
60 祂离弃了设在示罗的圣幕，
就是祂在人间的居所。
61 祂任凭自己的约柜被人掳去，
让自己的荣耀落在敌人手中。
62 祂使自己的子民被刀剑杀戮，
向自己的产业大发怒气。
63 青年被烈火吞噬，
少女无法婚嫁。
64 祭司丧身刀下，
寡妇无法哭丧。
65 那时，主像从睡眠中醒来，
又如酒后醒来的勇士。
66 祂击退仇敌，
叫他们永远蒙羞。
67 祂丢弃了约瑟的子孙，
没有拣选以法莲支派。
68 祂拣选了犹大支派，
祂所喜爱的锡安山。
69 祂为自己建造高耸的圣所，
使它像大地一样长存。
70 祂拣选了祂的仆人大卫，
把他从羊圈中召来，
71 让他离开牧羊的生活，
去牧养祂的子民雅各的后裔，
牧养祂的产业以色列。
72 于是，大卫以正直的心牧养他们，
用灵巧的手带领他们。
祈求上帝拯救
亚萨的诗。
79 上帝啊，
外族人侵占你的产业，
玷污你的圣殿，
使耶路撒冷沦为废墟。
2 他们把你仆人的尸体喂飞鸟，
把你忠心子民的尸体给野兽吃，
3 使耶路撒冷周围血流成河，
尸体无人埋葬。
4 我们成了列国羞辱的对象，
周围的人都嗤笑、讥讽我们。
5 耶和华啊，你向我们发怒，
要到何时呢？
难道要到永远吗？
你的怒火要烧到何时呢？
6 求你把烈怒撒向那些不承认你的列邦，
撒向那些不求告你的列国。
7 因为他们吞噬了雅各，
摧毁了他的家园。
8 求你不要向我们追讨我们祖先的罪，
愿你快快地怜悯我们，
因为我们已经落入绝望中。
9 拯救我们的上帝啊，
求你为了自己荣耀的名而帮助我们，
为你名的缘故拯救我们，
赦免我们的罪。
10 为何让列邦说：
“他们的上帝在哪里？”
求你让我们亲眼看见，
也让列邦都知道，
你为自己被害的子民申冤。
11 求你垂听被囚之人的哀叹，
求你用大能的臂膀留住死囚的性命。
12 主啊，我们的邻邦羞辱你，
求你以七倍的羞辱来报应他们。
13 这样，你的子民，你草场上的羊必永远称谢你，世代称颂你。
为国家复兴祈求
亚萨的诗，交给乐长，调用“作证的百合花”。
80 1-2 以色列的牧者啊，
你像照顾羊群一样带领约瑟的子孙，
求你垂听我们的祈祷。
坐在基路伯天使之上的耶和华啊，
求你向以法莲、便雅悯和玛拿西发出光辉，
求你施展大能来拯救我们。
3 上帝啊，求你复兴我们，
用你脸上的荣光照耀我们，
使我们得救。
4 万军之上帝耶和华啊，
你因你子民的祷告而发怒，
要到何时呢？
5 你使我们以泪洗面，
以哀伤果腹，
6 又使我们成为邻国争夺的对象，
仇敌都嘲笑我们。
7 万军之上帝啊，
求你复兴我们，
用你脸上的荣光照耀我们，
使我们得救。
8 你从埃及带出一棵葡萄树，
赶走外族人，把它栽种起来。
9 你为它开垦土地，
它就扎根生长，布满这片土地。
10 它的树荫遮盖群山，
枝子遮蔽香柏树。
11 它的枝条延伸到地中海，
嫩枝伸展到幼发拉底河。
12 你为何拆毁了它的篱笆，
让路人随意摘取葡萄呢？
13 林中的野猪蹂躏它，
野兽吞吃它。
14 万军之上帝啊，
求你回来，
求你在天上垂顾我们这棵葡萄树，
15 这棵你亲手栽种和培育的葡萄树。
16 这树被砍倒，被焚烧，
愿你发怒毁灭仇敌。
17 求你扶持你所拣选的人，你为自己所养育的人。
18 我们必不再背弃你，
求你复兴我们，
我们必敬拜你。
19 万军之上帝耶和华啊，
求你复兴我们，
用你脸上的荣光照耀我们，
使我们得救。
Psalm 77-80
New International Version
Psalm 77-80
New International Version
Psalm 77[a]
For the director of music. For Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A psalm.
1 I cried out to God(A) for help;
I cried out to God to hear me.
2 When I was in distress,(B) I sought the Lord;
at night(C) I stretched out untiring hands,(D)
and I would not be comforted.(E)
3 I remembered(F) you, God, and I groaned;(G)
I meditated, and my spirit grew faint.[b](H)
4 You kept my eyes from closing;
I was too troubled to speak.(I)
5 I thought about the former days,(J)
the years of long ago;
6 I remembered my songs in the night.
My heart meditated and my spirit asked:
7 “Will the Lord reject forever?(K)
Will he never show his favor(L) again?
8 Has his unfailing love(M) vanished forever?
Has his promise(N) failed for all time?
9 Has God forgotten to be merciful?(O)
Has he in anger withheld his compassion?(P)”
10 Then I thought, “To this I will appeal:
the years when the Most High stretched out his right hand.(Q)
11 I will remember the deeds of the Lord;
yes, I will remember your miracles(R) of long ago.
12 I will consider(S) all your works
and meditate on all your mighty deeds.”(T)
13 Your ways, God, are holy.
What god is as great as our God?(U)
14 You are the God who performs miracles;(V)
you display your power among the peoples.
15 With your mighty arm you redeemed your people,(W)
the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.
16 The waters(X) saw you, God,
the waters saw you and writhed;(Y)
the very depths were convulsed.
17 The clouds poured down water,(Z)
the heavens resounded with thunder;(AA)
your arrows(AB) flashed back and forth.
18 Your thunder was heard in the whirlwind,(AC)
your lightning(AD) lit up the world;
the earth trembled and quaked.(AE)
19 Your path(AF) led through the sea,(AG)
your way through the mighty waters,
though your footprints were not seen.
Psalm 78
A maskil[c] of Asaph.
1 My people, hear my teaching;(AK)
listen to the words of my mouth.
2 I will open my mouth with a parable;(AL)
I will utter hidden things, things from of old—
3 things we have heard and known,
things our ancestors have told us.(AM)
4 We will not hide them from their descendants;(AN)
we will tell the next generation(AO)
the praiseworthy deeds(AP) of the Lord,
his power, and the wonders(AQ) he has done.
5 He decreed statutes(AR) for Jacob(AS)
and established the law in Israel,
which he commanded our ancestors
to teach their children,
6 so the next generation would know them,
even the children yet to be born,(AT)
and they in turn would tell their children.
7 Then they would put their trust in God
and would not forget(AU) his deeds
but would keep his commands.(AV)
8 They would not be like their ancestors(AW)—
a stubborn(AX) and rebellious(AY) generation,
whose hearts were not loyal to God,
whose spirits were not faithful to him.
9 The men of Ephraim, though armed with bows,(AZ)
turned back on the day of battle;(BA)
10 they did not keep God’s covenant(BB)
and refused to live by his law.(BC)
11 They forgot what he had done,(BD)
the wonders he had shown them.
12 He did miracles(BE) in the sight of their ancestors
in the land of Egypt,(BF) in the region of Zoan.(BG)
13 He divided the sea(BH) and led them through;
he made the water stand up like a wall.(BI)
14 He guided them with the cloud by day
and with light from the fire all night.(BJ)
15 He split the rocks(BK) in the wilderness
and gave them water as abundant as the seas;
16 he brought streams out of a rocky crag
and made water flow down like rivers.
17 But they continued to sin(BL) against him,
rebelling in the wilderness against the Most High.
18 They willfully put God to the test(BM)
by demanding the food they craved.(BN)
19 They spoke against God;(BO)
they said, “Can God really
spread a table in the wilderness?
20 True, he struck the rock,
and water gushed out,(BP)
streams flowed abundantly,
but can he also give us bread?
Can he supply meat(BQ) for his people?”
21 When the Lord heard them, he was furious;
his fire broke out(BR) against Jacob,
and his wrath rose against Israel,
22 for they did not believe in God
or trust(BS) in his deliverance.
23 Yet he gave a command to the skies above
and opened the doors of the heavens;(BT)
24 he rained down manna(BU) for the people to eat,
he gave them the grain of heaven.
25 Human beings ate the bread of angels;
he sent them all the food they could eat.
26 He let loose the east wind(BV) from the heavens
and by his power made the south wind blow.
27 He rained meat down on them like dust,
birds(BW) like sand on the seashore.
28 He made them come down inside their camp,
all around their tents.
29 They ate till they were gorged—(BX)
he had given them what they craved.
30 But before they turned from what they craved,
even while the food was still in their mouths,(BY)
31 God’s anger rose against them;
he put to death the sturdiest(BZ) among them,
cutting down the young men of Israel.
32 In spite of all this, they kept on sinning;(CA)
in spite of his wonders,(CB) they did not believe.(CC)
33 So he ended their days in futility(CD)
and their years in terror.
34 Whenever God slew them, they would seek(CE) him;
they eagerly turned to him again.
35 They remembered that God was their Rock,(CF)
that God Most High was their Redeemer.(CG)
36 But then they would flatter him with their mouths,(CH)
lying to him with their tongues;
37 their hearts were not loyal(CI) to him,
they were not faithful to his covenant.
38 Yet he was merciful;(CJ)
he forgave(CK) their iniquities(CL)
and did not destroy them.
Time after time he restrained his anger(CM)
and did not stir up his full wrath.
39 He remembered that they were but flesh,(CN)
a passing breeze(CO) that does not return.
40 How often they rebelled(CP) against him in the wilderness(CQ)
and grieved him(CR) in the wasteland!
41 Again and again they put God to the test;(CS)
they vexed the Holy One of Israel.(CT)
42 They did not remember(CU) his power—
the day he redeemed them from the oppressor,(CV)
43 the day he displayed his signs(CW) in Egypt,
his wonders(CX) in the region of Zoan.
44 He turned their river into blood;(CY)
they could not drink from their streams.
45 He sent swarms of flies(CZ) that devoured them,
and frogs(DA) that devastated them.
46 He gave their crops to the grasshopper,(DB)
their produce to the locust.(DC)
47 He destroyed their vines with hail(DD)
and their sycamore-figs with sleet.
48 He gave over their cattle to the hail,
their livestock(DE) to bolts of lightning.
49 He unleashed against them his hot anger,(DF)
his wrath, indignation and hostility—
a band of destroying angels.(DG)
50 He prepared a path for his anger;
he did not spare them from death
but gave them over to the plague.
51 He struck down all the firstborn of Egypt,(DH)
the firstfruits of manhood in the tents of Ham.(DI)
52 But he brought his people out like a flock;(DJ)
he led them like sheep through the wilderness.
53 He guided them safely, so they were unafraid;
but the sea engulfed(DK) their enemies.(DL)
54 And so he brought them to the border of his holy land,
to the hill country his right hand(DM) had taken.
55 He drove out nations(DN) before them
and allotted their lands to them as an inheritance;(DO)
he settled the tribes of Israel in their homes.
56 But they put God to the test
and rebelled against the Most High;
they did not keep his statutes.
57 Like their ancestors(DP) they were disloyal and faithless,
as unreliable as a faulty bow.(DQ)
58 They angered him(DR) with their high places;(DS)
they aroused his jealousy with their idols.(DT)
59 When God heard(DU) them, he was furious;(DV)
he rejected Israel(DW) completely.
60 He abandoned the tabernacle of Shiloh,(DX)
the tent he had set up among humans.(DY)
61 He sent the ark of his might(DZ) into captivity,(EA)
his splendor into the hands of the enemy.
62 He gave his people over to the sword;(EB)
he was furious with his inheritance.(EC)
63 Fire consumed(ED) their young men,
and their young women had no wedding songs;(EE)
64 their priests were put to the sword,(EF)
and their widows could not weep.
65 Then the Lord awoke as from sleep,(EG)
as a warrior wakes from the stupor of wine.
66 He beat back his enemies;
he put them to everlasting shame.(EH)
67 Then he rejected the tents of Joseph,
he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim;(EI)
68 but he chose the tribe of Judah,(EJ)
Mount Zion,(EK) which he loved.
69 He built his sanctuary(EL) like the heights,
like the earth that he established forever.
70 He chose David(EM) his servant
and took him from the sheep pens;
71 from tending the sheep(EN) he brought him
to be the shepherd(EO) of his people Jacob,
of Israel his inheritance.
72 And David shepherded them with integrity of heart;(EP)
with skillful hands he led them.
Psalm 79
A psalm of Asaph.
1 O God, the nations have invaded your inheritance;(EQ)
they have defiled(ER) your holy temple,
they have reduced Jerusalem to rubble.(ES)
2 They have left the dead bodies of your servants
as food for the birds of the sky,(ET)
the flesh of your own people for the animals of the wild.(EU)
3 They have poured out blood like water
all around Jerusalem,
and there is no one to bury(EV) the dead.(EW)
4 We are objects of contempt to our neighbors,
of scorn(EX) and derision to those around us.(EY)
5 How long,(EZ) Lord? Will you be angry(FA) forever?
How long will your jealousy burn like fire?(FB)
6 Pour out your wrath(FC) on the nations
that do not acknowledge(FD) you,
on the kingdoms
that do not call on your name;(FE)
7 for they have devoured(FF) Jacob
and devastated his homeland.
8 Do not hold against us the sins of past generations;(FG)
may your mercy come quickly to meet us,
for we are in desperate need.(FH)
9 Help us,(FI) God our Savior,
for the glory of your name;
deliver us and forgive our sins
for your name’s sake.(FJ)
10 Why should the nations say,
“Where is their God?”(FK)
Before our eyes, make known among the nations
that you avenge(FL) the outpoured blood(FM) of your servants.
11 May the groans of the prisoners come before you;
with your strong arm preserve those condemned to die.
12 Pay back into the laps(FN) of our neighbors seven times(FO)
the contempt they have hurled at you, Lord.
13 Then we your people, the sheep of your pasture,(FP)
will praise you forever;(FQ)
from generation to generation
we will proclaim your praise.
Psalm 80[d]
For the director of music. To the tune of “The Lilies of the Covenant.” Of Asaph. A psalm.
1 Hear us, Shepherd of Israel,
you who lead Joseph like a flock.(FR)
You who sit enthroned between the cherubim,(FS)
shine forth 2 before Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh.(FT)
Awaken(FU) your might;
come and save us.(FV)
4 How long,(FZ) Lord God Almighty,
will your anger smolder(GA)
against the prayers of your people?
5 You have fed them with the bread of tears;(GB)
you have made them drink tears by the bowlful.(GC)
6 You have made us an object of derision[e] to our neighbors,
and our enemies mock us.(GD)
7 Restore us, God Almighty;
make your face shine on us,
that we may be saved.(GE)
8 You transplanted a vine(GF) from Egypt;
you drove out(GG) the nations and planted(GH) it.
9 You cleared the ground for it,
and it took root and filled the land.
10 The mountains were covered with its shade,
the mighty cedars with its branches.
11 Its branches reached as far as the Sea,[f]
its shoots as far as the River.[g](GI)
12 Why have you broken down its walls(GJ)
so that all who pass by pick its grapes?
13 Boars from the forest ravage(GK) it,
and insects from the fields feed on it.
14 Return to us, God Almighty!
Look down from heaven and see!(GL)
Watch over this vine,
15 the root your right hand has planted,
the son[h] you have raised up for yourself.
16 Your vine is cut down, it is burned with fire;(GM)
at your rebuke(GN) your people perish.
17 Let your hand rest on the man at your right hand,
the son of man(GO) you have raised up for yourself.
18 Then we will not turn away from you;
revive(GP) us, and we will call on your name.
19 Restore us, Lord God Almighty;
make your face shine on us,
that we may be saved.
