The Book of Psalms

  Psalm 79  

79:1 Unto the end, for them that shall he changed, a testimony for Asaph, a psalm.

79:1 In finem pro iis qui commutabuntur Testimonium Asaph psalmus

79:2 Give ear, O thou that rulest Israel: thou that leadest Joseph like a sheep. Thou that sittest upon the cherubims, shine forth

79:2 Qui regis Israhel intende qui deducis tamquam oves Ioseph qui sedes super cherubin manifestare

79:3 before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasses. Stir up thy might, and come to save us.

79:3 Coram Effraim et Beniamin et Manasse excita potentiam tuam et veni ut salvos facias nos

79:4 Convert us, O God: and shew us thy face, and we shall be saved.

79:4 Deus converte nos et ostende faciem tuam et salvi erimus

79:5 O Lord God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy servant?

79:5 Domine Deus virtutum quousque irasceris super orationem servi tui

79:6 How long wilt thou feed us with the bread of tears: and give us for our drink tears in measure?

79:6 Cibabis nos pane lacrimarum et potum dabis nobis in lacrimis in mensura

79:7 Thou hast made us to be a contradiction to our neighbours: and our enemies have scoffed at us.

79:7 Posuisti nos in contradictionem vicinis nostris et inimici nostri subsannaverunt nos

79:8 O God of hosts, convert us: and shew thy face, and we shall be saved.

79:8 Deus virtutum converte nos et ostende faciem tuam et salvi erimus

79:9 Thou hast brought a vineyard out of Egypt: thou hast cast cut the Gentiles and planted it.

79:9 Vineam de Aegypto transtulisti eiecisti gentes et plantasti eam

79:10 Thou wast the guide of its journey in its sight: thou plantedst the roots thereof, and it filled the land.

79:10 Dux itineris fuisti in conspectu eius et plantasti radices eius et implevit terram

79:11 The shadow of it covered the hills: and the branches thereof the cedars of God.

79:11 Operuit montes umbra eius et arbusta eius cedros Dei

79:12 It stretched forth its branches unto the sea, and its boughs unto the river.

79:12 Extendit palmites suos usque ad mare et usque ad Flumen propagines eius

79:13 Why hast thou broken down the hedge thereof, so that all they who pass by the way do pluck it?

79:13 Ut quid destruxisti maceriam eius et vindemiant eam omnes qui praetergrediuntur viam

79:14 The boar out of the wood hath laid it waste: and a singular wild beast hath devoured it.

79:14 Exterminavit eam aper de silva et singularis ferus depastus est eam

79:15 Turn again, O God of hosts, look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vineyard:

79:15 Deus virtutum convertere respice de caelo et vide et visita vineam istam

79:16 And perfect the same which thy right hand hath planted: and upon the son of man whom thou hast confirmed for thyself.

79:16 Et perfice eam quam plantavit dextera tua et super filium quem confirmasti tibi

79:17 Things set on fire and dug down shall perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.

79:17 Incensa igni et suffossa ab increpatione vultus tui peribunt

79:18 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand: and upon the son of man whom thou hast confirmed for thyself.

79:18 Fiat manus tua super virum dexterae tuae et super filium hominis quem confirmasti tibi

79:19 And we depart not from thee, thou shalt quicken us: and we will call upon thy name.

79:19 Et non discedimus a te vivificabis nos et nomen tuum invocabimus

79:20 O Lord God of hosts, convert us: and shew thy face, and we shall be saved.

79:20 Domine Deus virtutum converte nos et ostende faciem tuam et salvi erimus
