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。
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。
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?
你使我们以泪洗面,
以哀伤果腹,
又使我们成为邻国争夺的对象,
仇敌都嘲笑我们。
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。

Psalm 80[a]

For the director of music. To the tune of “The Lilies of the Covenant.” Of Asaph. A psalm.

Hear us, Shepherd of Israel,
    you who lead Joseph like a flock.(A)
You who sit enthroned between the cherubim,(B)
    shine forth before Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh.(C)
Awaken(D) your might;
    come and save us.(E)

Restore(F) us,(G) O God;
    make your face shine on us,
    that we may be saved.(H)

How long,(I) Lord God Almighty,
    will your anger smolder(J)
    against the prayers of your people?
You have fed them with the bread of tears;(K)
    you have made them drink tears by the bowlful.(L)
You have made us an object of derision[b] to our neighbors,
    and our enemies mock us.(M)

Restore us, God Almighty;
    make your face shine on us,
    that we may be saved.(N)
