祈求 神眷顾复兴他的子民

亚萨的诗,交给诗班长,调用“见证的花”。

80 以色列的牧者啊!带领约瑟好象带领羊群的啊!

求你留心听;

坐在基路伯上面的啊!

求你显出荣光。

在以法莲、便雅悯和玛拿西面前,

求你施展你的大能,

前来拯救我们。

 神啊,求你使我们复兴!

愿你的脸光照我们,我们就可以得救。

耶和华万军之 神啊!

你因你子民的祷告发怒,要到几时呢?

你使他们以眼泪当饼吃,

使他们喝满杯的泪水。

你使我们的邻国因我们纷争,

我们的仇敌也讥笑我们。

万军的 神啊!求你使我们复兴;

愿你的脸光照我们,我们就可以得救。

你从埃及带走一棵葡萄树,

你赶出外族人,把这树栽上。

你为它预备了地土,

它就深深扎根,充满全地。

10 它的荫影遮盖了群山,

它的枝条遮盖了高大的香柏树。

11 它的枝条伸展,直到大海;

它的幼苗,直到大河。

12 你为甚么拆毁它的篱笆,

任由所有过路的人采摘呢?

13 从树林中出来的野猪践踏它,

田野的走兽把它吃了。

14 万军的 神啊!求你回心转意,

从天上垂看鉴察,

眷顾这葡萄树,

15 眷顾你右手栽种的根,

和你为自己培育的儿子。

16 这树已被火烧,被砍下;

他们因你脸上的怒容灭亡。

17 愿你的手护庇你右边的人,

就是你为自己培育的人。

18 这样,我们就不退后离开你;

求你救活我们,我们就要求告你的名。

19 耶和华万军的 神啊!求你使我们复兴;

愿你的脸光照我们,我们就可以得救。

A Prayer to Bring Israel Back

For the director of music. To the tune of “Lilies of the Agreement.” A song of Asaph.

80 Shepherd of Israel, listen to us.
    You lead the people of Joseph like a flock.
You sit on your throne between the gold creatures with wings.
Show your greatness     to the people of Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh.
Use your strength.
    Come and save us.

God, take us back.
    Show us your kindness so we can be saved.

Lord God of heaven’s armies,
    how long will you be angry
    at the prayers of your people?
You have fed your people tears.
    You have made them drink many tears.
You made those around us fight over us.
    Our enemies make fun of us.

God of heaven’s armies, take us back.
    Show us your kindness so we can be saved.

You brought us out of Egypt as if we were a vine.
    You forced out other nations and planted us in the land.
You cleared the land for us.
    Like a vine, we took root and filled the land.
10 We covered the mountains with our shade.
    We had limbs like the mighty cedar tree.
11 Our branches reached the Mediterranean Sea.
    And our shoots went to the Euphrates River.

12 So why did you pull down our walls?
    Now everyone who passes by steals from us.
13 Like wild pigs they walk over us.
    Like wild animals they feed on us.

14 God of heaven’s armies, come back.
    Look down from heaven and see.
Take care of us, your vine.
15     You planted this shoot with your own hands.
    You raised and strengthened this child.
16 Now it is cut down and burned with fire.
    You destroyed us by your angry looks.
17 Help the man you have chosen.
    Make this human being strong for your service.
18 Then we will not turn away from you.
    Give us life again, and we will call to you for help.

19 Lord God of heaven’s armies, take us back.
    Show us your kindness so we can 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.
