Psalms 80
A national prayer built around a refrain: "Turn us again... Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved" (vv.3, 7, 19). It returns three times, each louder — plain God, then God of Armies, then LORD God of Armies. The second half drops into an extended image: Israel as a vine brought out of Egypt, planted, flourishing, now with its walls broken so passersby strip it (vv.8-13). Watch the refrain frame the vine's ruin as something only God can reverse.
- 1
Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock, you who sit above the cherubim, shine out.
- 2
Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, stir up your might! Come to save us!
- 3
Turn us again, God. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.
- 4
LORD God of Armies, how long will you be angry against the prayer of your people?
- 5
You have fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in large measure.
- 6
You make us a source of contention to our neighbors. Our enemies laugh among themselves.
- 7
Turn us again, God of Armies. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.
- 8
You brought a vine out of Egypt. You drove out the nations, and planted it.
- 9
You cleared the ground for it. It took deep root, and filled the land.
- 10
The mountains were covered with its shadow. Its boughs were like God’s cedars.
- 11
It sent out its branches to the sea, its shoots to the River.
- 12
Why have you broken down its walls, so that all those who pass by the way pluck it?
- 13
The boar out of the wood ravages it. The wild animals of the field feed on it.
- 14
Turn again, we beg you, God of Armies. Look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vine,
- 15
the stock which your right hand planted, the branch that you made strong for yourself.
- 16
It’s burned with fire. It’s cut down. They perish at your rebuke.
- 17
Let your hand be on the man of your right hand, on the son of man whom you made strong for yourself.
- 18
So we will not turn away from you. Revive us, and we will call on your name.
- 19
Turn us again, LORD God of Armies. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.
- 1
Ouve-nos, Pastor de Israel, tu que conduzes José como um rebanho; tu que estás entronizado acima dos querubins, resplandece.
- 2
Diante de Efraim, Benjamim e Manassés, desperta o teu poder! Vem nos salvar!
- 3
Restaura-nos, ó Deus. Faze o teu rosto resplandecer, e seremos salvos.
- 4
SENHOR, Deus dos Exércitos, até quando estarás indignado contra a oração do teu povo?
- 5
Tu os alimentaste com o pão de lágrimas, e lhes deste a beber lágrimas em grande medida.
- 6
Tu nos fazes motivo de contenda para os nossos vizinhos. Nossos inimigos zombam entre si.
- 7
Restaura-nos, ó Deus dos Exércitos. Faze o teu rosto resplandecer, e seremos salvos.
- 8
Trouxeste uma videira do Egito; expulsaste as nações e a plantaste.
- 9
Preparaste o terreno para ela; ela lançou raízes profundas e encheu a terra.
- 10
As montanhas foram cobertas pela sua sombra, e os seus ramos eram como os cedros de Deus.
- 11
Ela estendeu os seus ramos até o mar, e os seus brotos até o Rio.
- 12
Por que derrubaste os seus muros, de modo que todos os que passam pelo caminho arrancam seus frutos?
- 13
O javali da floresta a devasta, e os animais selvagens do campo se alimentam dela.
- 14
Volta-te, nós te imploramos, ó Deus dos Exércitos. Olha dos céus, e vê, e visita esta videira,
- 15
a raiz que a tua mão direita plantou, o ramo que fortaleceste para ti mesmo.
- 16
Ela está queimada no fogo; está cortada. Eles perecem diante da tua repreensão.
- 17
Que a tua mão esteja sobre o homem da tua mão direita, sobre o filho do homem que fortaleceste para ti mesmo.
- 18
Assim, não nos desviaremos de ti. Vivifica-nos, e invocaremos o teu nome.
- 19
Restaura-nos, SENHOR, Deus dos Exércitos. Faze o teu rosto resplandecer, e seremos salvos.
The vine and the broken wall
The vine fills the land and reaches the sea (vv.9-11), then the poet asks the sharp question: "Why have you broken down its walls?" (v.12). The boar and wild animals that ravage it are the consequence God himself allowed.
The plea narrows to "the man of your right hand, on the son of man whom you made strong" (v.17) — a request for a chosen figure through whom the people will be revived and turn back.
