Psalm 79 [MT 80]
[For the end, for alternate [strains], a testimony for Asaph, a Psalm concerning the Assyrian.]
Εἰς τὸ τέλος, ὑπὲρ τῶν ἀλλοιωθησομένων· μαρτύριον τῷ ᾿Ασάφ, ψαλμὸς ὑπὲρ τοῦ ᾿Ασσυρίου. -
Attend, O Shepherd of Israel, who guidest Joseph like a flock; thou who sittest upon the cherubs, manifest thyself;
Ο ΠΟΙΜΑΙΝΩΝ τὸν ᾿Ισραήλ, πρόσχες, ὁ ὁδηγῶν ὡσεὶ πρόβατα τὸν ᾿Ιωσήφ. ὁ καθήμενος ἐπὶ τῶν Χερουβίμ, ἐμφάνηθι.
before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasse, stir up thy power, and come to deliver us.
ἐναντίον ᾿Εφραὶμ καὶ Βενιαμὶν καὶ Μανασσῆ ἐξέγειρον τὴν δυναστείαν σου καὶ ἐλθὲ εἰς τὸ σῶσαι ἡμᾶς.
Turn us, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be delivered.
ὁ Θεός, ἐπίστρεψον ἡμᾶς καὶ ἐπίφανον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου καὶ σωθησόμεθα.
O Lord God of hosts, how long art thou angry with the prayer of thy servant?
Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς τῶν δυνάμεων, ἕως πότε ὀργίζῃ ἐπὶ τὴν προσευχὴν τῶν δούλων σου;
Thou wilt feed us with bread of tears; and wilt cause us to drink tears by measure.
ψωμιεῖς ἡμᾶς ἄρτον δακρύων; καὶ ποτιεῖς ἡμᾶς ἐν δάκρυσιν ἐν μέτρῳ;
Thou hast made us a strife to our neighbours; and our enemies have mocked at us.
ἔθου ἡμᾶς εἰς ἀντιλογίαν τοῖς γείτοσιν ἡμῶν, καὶ οἱ ἐχθροὶ ἡμῶν ἐμυκτήρισαν ἡμᾶς.
Turn us, O Lord God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. Pause.
Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς τῶν δυνάμεων, ἐπίστρεψον ἡμᾶς καὶ ἐπίφανον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου, καὶ σωθησόμεθα. (διάψαλμα).
Thou hast transplanted a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
ἄμπελον ἐξ Αἰγύπτου μετῇρας, ἐξέβαλες ἔθνη καὶ κατεφύτευσας αὐτήν·
Thou madest a way before it, and didst cause its roots to strike, and the land was filled [with it].
ὡδοποίησας ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῆς καὶ κατεφύτευσας τὰς ῥίζας αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐπλήρωσε τὴν γῆν.
Its shadow covered the mountains, and its shoots [equaled] the goodly cedars.
ἐκάλυψεν ὄρη ἡ σκιὰ αὐτῆς καὶ αἱ ἀναδενδράδες αὐτῆς τὰς κέδρους τοῦ Θεοῦ·
It sent forth its branches to the sea, and its shoots to the river.
ἐξέτεινε τὰ κλήματα αὐτῆς ἕως θαλάσσης καὶ ἕως ποταμῶν τὰς παραφυάδας αὐτῆς.
Wherefore hast thou broken down its hedge, while all that pass by the way pluck it?
ἱνατί καθεῖλες τὸν φραγμὸν αὐτῆς καὶ τρυγῶσιν αὐτὴν πάντες οἱ παραπορευόμενοι τὴν ὁδόν;
The boar out of the wood has laid it waste, and the wild beast has devoured it.
ἐλυμήνατο αὐτὴν ὗς ἐκ δρυμοῦ, καὶ μονιὸς ἄγριος κατενεμήσατο αὐτήν.
O God of hosts, turn, we pray thee: look on [us] from heaven, and behold and visit this vine;
ὁ Θεὸς τῶν δυνάμεων, ἐπίστρεψον δή, καὶ ἐπίβλεψον ἐξ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἴδε καὶ ἐπίσκεψαι τὴν ἄμπελον ταύτην
and restore that which thy right hand has planted: and look on the son of man whom thou didst strengthen for thyself.
καὶ κατάρτισαι αὐτήν, ἣν ἐφύτευσεν ἡ δεξιά σου, καὶ ἐπὶ υἱὸν ἀνθρώπου, ὃν ἐκραταίωσας σεαυτῷ.
[It is] burnt with fire and dug up: they shall perish at the rebuke of thy presence.
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 didst strengthen for thyself.
γενηθήτω ἡ χείρ σου ἐπ᾿ ἄνδρα δεξιᾶς σου καὶ ἐπὶ υἱὸν ἀνθρώπου, ὃν ἐκραταίωσας σεαυτῷ·
So will we not depart from thee: thou shalt quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.
καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποστῶμεν ἀπὸ σοῦ, ζωώσεις ἡμᾶς, καὶ τὸ ὄνομά σου ἐπικαλεσόμεθα.
Turn us, O Lord God of hosts, and make thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
Κύριε, ὁ Θεὸς τῶν δυνάμεων, ἐπίστρεψον ἡμᾶς καὶ ἐπίφανον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου, καὶ σωθησόμεθα.
