Psalms 79

Unto the end, for them that shall be changed, a testimony for Asaph, a psalm.

In finem, pro iis qui commutabuntur. Testimonium Asaph, psalmus.

εἰς τὸ τέλος ὑπὲρ τῶν ἀλλοιωθησομένων μαρτύριον τῷ Ασαφ ψαλμὸς ὑπὲρ τοῦ Ἀσσυρίου

Give ear, O thou that rulest Israel: thou that leadest Joseph like a sheep. Thou that sittest upon the cherubims, shine forth

Qui regis Israël, intende; qui deducis velut ovem Joseph. Qui sedes super cherubim, manifestare

ὁ ποιμαίνων τὸν Ισραηλ πρόσχες ὁ ὁδηγῶν ὡσεὶ πρόβατα τὸν Ιωσηφ ὁ καθήμενος ἐπὶ τῶν χερουβιν ἐμφάνηθι

Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasses. Stir up thy might, and come to save us.

coram Ephraim, Benjamin, et Manasse. Excita potentiam tuam, et veni, ut salvos facias nos.

ἐναντίον Εφραιμ καὶ Βενιαμιν καὶ Μανασση ἐξέγειρον τὴν δυναστείαν σου καὶ ἐλθὲ εἰς τὸ σῶσαι ἡμᾶς

Convert us, O God: and show us thy face, and we shall be saved.

Deus, converte nos, et ostende faciem tuam, et salvi erimus.

ὁ θεός ἐπίστρεψον ἡμᾶς καὶ ἐπίφανον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου καὶ σωθησόμεθα

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

Domine Deus virtutum, quousque irasceris super orationem servi tui?

κύριε ὁ θεὸς τῶν δυνάμεων ἕως πότε ὀργίζῃ ἐπὶ τὴν προσευχὴν τοῦ δούλου σου

How long wilt thou feed us with the bread of tears: and give us for our drink tears in measure?

cibabis nos pane lacrimarum, et potum dabis nobis in lacrimis in mensura?

ψωμιεῖς ἡμᾶς ἄρτον δακρύων καὶ ποτιεῖς ἡμᾶς ἐν δάκρυσιν ἐν μέτρῳ

Thou hast made us to be a contradiction to our neighbours: and our enemies have scoffed at us.

Posuisti nos in contradictionem vicinis nostris, et inimici nostri subsannaverunt nos.

ἔθου ἡμᾶς εἰς ἀντιλογίαν τοῖς γείτοσιν ἡμῶν καὶ οἱ ἐχθροὶ ἡμῶν ἐμυκτήρισαν ἡμᾶς

O God of hosts, convert us: and show thy face, and we shall be saved.

Deus virtutum, converte nos, et ostende faciem tuam, et salvi erimus.

κύριε ὁ θεὸς τῶν δυνάμεων ἐπίστρεψον ἡμᾶς καὶ ἐπίφανον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου καὶ σωθησόμεθα διάψαλμα

Thou hast brought a vineyard out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the Gentiles and planted it.

Vineam de Ægypto transtulisti : ejecisti gentes, et plantasti eam.

ἄμπελον ἐξ Αἰγύπτου μετῆρας ἐξέβαλες ἔθνη καὶ κατεφύτευσας αὐτήν

Thou wast the guide of its journey in its sight: thou plantedst the roots thereof, and it filled the land.

Dux itineris fuisti in conspectu ejus; plantasti radices ejus, et implevit terram.

ὡδοποίησας ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῆς καὶ κατεφύτευσας τὰς ῥίζας αὐτῆς καὶ ἐπλήσθη ἡ γῆ

The shadow of it covered the hills: and the branches thereof the cedars of God.

Operuit montes umbra ejus, et arbusta ejus cedros Dei.

ἐκάλυψεν ὄρη ἡ σκιὰ αὐτῆς καὶ αἱ ἀναδενδράδες αὐτῆς τὰς κέδρους τοῦ θεοῦ

It stretched forth its branches unto the sea, and its boughs unto the river.

Extendit palmites suos usque ad mare, et usque ad flumen propagines ejus.

ἐξέτεινεν τὰ κλήματα αὐτῆς ἕως θαλάσσης καὶ ἕως ποταμοῦ τὰς παραφυάδας αὐτῆς

Why hast thou broken down the hedge thereof, so that all they who pass by the way do pluck it?

Ut quid destruxisti maceriam ejus, et vindemiant eam omnes qui prætergrediuntur viam?

ἵνα τί καθεῖλες τὸν φραγμὸν αὐτῆς καὶ τρυγῶσιν αὐτὴν πάντες οἱ παραπορευόμενοι τὴν ὁδόν

The boar out of the wood hath laid it waste: and a singular wild beast hath devoured it.

Exterminavit eam aper de silva, et singularis ferus depastus est eam.

ἐλυμήνατο αὐτὴν σῦς ἐκ δρυμοῦ καὶ μονιὸς ἄγριος κατενεμήσατο αὐτήν

Turn again, O God of hosts, look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vineyard:

Deus virtutum, convertere, respice de cælo, et vide, et visita vineam istam:

ὁ θεὸς τῶν δυνάμεων ἐπίστρεψον δή ἐπίβλεψον ἐξ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἰδὲ καὶ ἐπίσκεψαι τὴν ἄμπελον ταύτην

And perfect the same which thy right hand hath planted: and upon the son of man whom thou hast confirmed for thyself.

et perfice eam quam plantavit dextera tua, et super filium hominis quem confirmasti tibi.

καὶ κατάρτισαι αὐτήν ἣν ἐφύτευσεν ἡ δεξιά σου καὶ ἐπὶ υἱὸν ἀνθρώπου ὃν ἐκραταίωσας σεαυτῷ

Things set on fire and dug down shall perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.

Incensa igni et suffossa, ab increpatione vultus tui peribunt.

ἐμπεπυρισμένη πυρὶ καὶ ἀνεσκαμμένη ἀπὸ ἐπιτιμήσεως τοῦ προσώπου σου ἀπολοῦνται

Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand: and upon the son of man whom thou hast confirmed for thyself.

Fiat manus tua super virum dexteræ tuæ, et super filium hominis quem confirmasti tibi.

γενηθήτω ἡ χείρ σου ἐπ' ἄνδρα δεξιᾶς σου καὶ ἐπὶ υἱὸν ἀνθρώπου ὃν ἐκραταίωσας σεαυτῷ

And we depart not from thee, thou shalt quicken us: and we will call upon thy name.

Et non discedimus a te : vivificabis nos, et nomen tuum invocabimus.

καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποστῶμεν ἀπὸ σοῦ ζωώσεις ἡμᾶς καὶ τὸ ὄνομά σου ἐπικαλεσόμεθα

O Lord God of hosts, convert us and show thy face, and we shall be saved.

Domine Deus virtutum, converte nos, et ostende faciem tuam, et salvi erimus.

κύριε ὁ θεὸς τῶν δυνάμεων ἐπίστρεψον ἡμᾶς καὶ ἐπίφανον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου καὶ σωθησόμεθα
