80 (80:1) Au chef des chantres. Sur les lis lyriques. D'Asaph. Psaume. (80:2) Prête l'oreille, berger d'Israël, Toi qui conduis Joseph comme un troupeau! Parais dans ta splendeur, Toi qui es assis sur les chérubins!

(80:3) Devant Éphraïm, Benjamin et Manassé, réveille ta force, Et viens à notre secours!

(80:4) O Dieu, relève-nous! Fais briller ta face, et nous serons sauvés!

(80:5) Éternel, Dieu des armées! Jusques à quand t'irriteras-tu contre la prière de ton peuple?

(80:6) Tu les nourris d'un pain de larmes. Tu les abreuves de larmes à pleine mesure.

(80:7) Tu fais de nous un objet de discorde pour nos voisins, Et nos ennemis se raillent de nous.

(80:8) Dieu des armées, relève-nous! Fais briller ta face, et nous serons sauvés!

(80:9) Tu avais arraché de l'Égypte une vigne; Tu as chassé des nations, et tu l'as plantée.

(80:10) Tu as fait place devant elle: Elle a jeté des racines et rempli la terre;

10 (80:11) Les montagnes étaient couvertes de son ombre, Et ses rameaux étaient comme des cèdres de Dieu;

11 (80:12) Elle étendait ses branches jusqu'à la mer, Et ses rejetons jusqu'au fleuve.

12 (80:13) Pourquoi as-tu rompu ses clôtures, En sorte que tous les passants la dépouillent?

13 (80:14) Le sanglier de la forêt la ronge, Et les bêtes des champs en font leur pâture.

14 (80:15) Dieu des armées, reviens donc! Regarde du haut des cieux, et vois! considère cette vigne!

15 (80:16) Protège ce que ta droite a planté, Et le fils que tu t'es choisi!...

16 (80:17) Elle est brûlée par le feu, elle est coupée! Ils périssent devant ta face menaçante.

17 (80:18) Que ta main soit sur l'homme de ta droite, Sur le fils de l'homme que tu t'es choisi!

18 (80:19) Et nous ne nous éloignerons plus de toi. Fais-nous revivre, et nous invoquerons ton nom.

19 (80:20) Éternel, Dieu des armées, relève-nous! Fais briller ta face, et nous serons sauvés!

80 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.

Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us.

Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

O Lord God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?

Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.

Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.

Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.

Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.

10 The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.

11 She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.

12 Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?

13 The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.

14 Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;

15 And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.

16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.

17 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.

18 So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.

19 Turn us again, O Lord God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

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)

You transplanted a vine(O) from Egypt;
    you drove out(P) the nations and planted(Q) it.
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,[c]
    its shoots as far as the River.[d](R)

12 Why have you broken down its walls(S)
    so that all who pass by pick its grapes?
13 Boars from the forest ravage(T) it,
    and insects from the fields feed on it.
14 Return to us, God Almighty!
    Look down from heaven and see!(U)
Watch over this vine,
15     the root your right hand has planted,
    the son[e] you have raised up for yourself.

16 Your vine is cut down, it is burned with fire;(V)
    at your rebuke(W) your people perish.
17 Let your hand rest on the man at your right hand,
    the son of man(X) you have raised up for yourself.
18 Then we will not turn away from you;
    revive(Y) 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.
