Psalm 80 [MT 81]

1

[For the end, a Psalm for Asaph, concerning the wine-presses.]

Εἰς τὸ τέλος, ὑπὲρ τῶν ληνῶν· ψαλμὸς τῷ ᾿Ασάφ. -

2

Rejoice ye in God our helper; shout aloud to the God of Jacob.

ΑΓΑΛΛΙΑΣΘΕ τῷ Θεῷ τῷ βοηθῷ ἡμῶν, ἀλαλάξατε τῷ Θεῷ ᾿Ιακώβ·

3

Take a psalm, and produce the timbrel, the pleasant psaltery with the harp.

λάβετε ψαλμὸν καὶ δότε τύμπανον, ψαλτήριον τερπνὸν μετὰ κιθάρας·

4

Blow the trumpet at the new moon, in the glorious day of your feast.

σαλπίσατε ἐν νεομηνίᾳ σάλπιγγι, ἐν εὐσήμῳ ἡμέρᾳ ἑορτῆς ὑμῶν·

5

For [this] is an ordinance for Israel, and a statute of the God of Jacob.

ὅτι πρόσταγμα τῷ ᾿Ισραήλ ἐστι καὶ κρῖμα τῷ Θεῷ ᾿Ιακώβ.

6

He made it [to be] a testimony in Joseph, when he came forth out of the land of Egypt: he heard a language which he understood not.

μαρτύριον ἐν τῷ ᾿Ιωσὴφ ἔθετο αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ ἐξελθεῖν αὐτὸν ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου· γλῶσσαν, ἣν οὐκ ἔγνω, ἤκουσεν·

7

He removed his back from burdens: his hands slaved in making the baskets.

ἀπέστησεν ἀπὸ ἄρσεων τὸν νῶτον αὐτοῦ, αἱ χεῖρες αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ κοφίνῳ ἐδούλευσαν.

8

Thou didst call upon me in trouble, and I delivered thee; I heard thee in the secret place of the storm: I proved thee at the water of Strife. Pause.

ἐν θλίψει ἐπεκαλέσω με, καὶ ἐρρυσάμην σε· ἐπήκουσά σου ἐν ἀποκρύφῳ καταιγίδος, ἐδοκίμασά σε ἐπὶ ὕδατος ἀντιλογίας. (διάψαλμα).

9

Hear, my people, and I will speak to thee, O Israel; and I will testify to thee: if thou wilt hearken to me;

ἄκουσον, λαός μου, καὶ διαμαρτύρομαί σοι, ᾿Ισραήλ, ἐὰν ἀκούσῃς μου,

10

there shall be no new god in thee; neither shalt thou worship a strange god.

οὐκ ἔσται ἐν σοὶ Θεὸς πρόσφατος, οὐδὲ προσκυνήσεις Θεῷ ἀλλοτρίῳ·

11

For I am the Lord thy God, that brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

ἐγὼ γάρ εἰμι Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου ὁ ἀναγαγών σε ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου· πλάτυνον τὸ στόμα σου, καὶ πληρώσω αὐτό.

12

But my people hearkened not to my voice; and Israel gave no heed to me.

καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσεν ὁ λαός μου τῆς φωνῆς μου, καὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ οὐ προσέσχε μοι·

13

So I let them go after the ways of their own hearts: they will go on in their own ways.

καὶ ἐξαπέστειλα αὐτοὺς κατὰ τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα τῶν καρδιῶν αὐτῶν, πορεύσονται ἐν τοῖς ἐπιτηδεύμασιν αὐτῶν.

14

If my people had hearkened to me, if Israel had walked in my ways,

εἰ ὁ λαός μου ἤκουσέ μου, ᾿Ισραὴλ ταῖς ὁδοῖς μου εἰ ἐπορεύθη,

15

I should have put down their enemies very quickly, and should have laid my hand upon those that afflicted them.

ἐν τῷ μηδενὶ ἂν τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτῶν ἐταπείνωσα καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς θλίβοντας αὐτοὺς ἐπέβαλον ἂν τὴν χεῖρά μου.

16

The Lord’s enemies [should have] lied to him: but their time shall be for ever.

οἱ ἐχθροὶ Κυρίου ἐψεύσαντο αὐτῷ, καὶ ἔσται ὁ καιρὸς αὐτῶν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.

17

And he fed them with the fat of wheat; and satisfied them with honey out of the rock.

καὶ ἐψώμισεν αὐτοὺς ἐκ στέατος πυροῦ καὶ ἐκ πέτρας μέλι ἐχόρτασεν αὐτούς.
