- Kapitel 80 -

We thank you, for your name is near

1
Unto the end. For those who will be changed. The testimony of Asaph. A Psalm.
2
The One who reigns over Israel: Be attentive. For you lead Joseph like a sheep. The One who sits upon the cherubim: Shine forth
3
in the presence of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Awaken your power and draw near, so as to accomplish our salvation.
4
Convert us, O God. And reveal your face, and we will be saved.
5
O Lord, God of hosts, how long will you be angry over the prayer of your servant?(a)
6
How long will you feed us the bread of tears, and give us to drink a full measure of tears?
7
You have set us as a contradiction to our neighbors. And our enemies have ridiculed us.
8
O God of hosts, convert us. And reveal your face, and we will be saved.
9
You have transferred a vineyard from Egypt. You have cast out the Gentiles, and planted it.
10
You were the leader of the journey in its sight. You planted its roots, and it filled the earth.
11
Its shadow covered the hills, and its branches covered the cedars of God.
12
It extended its new branches even to the sea, and its new seedlings even to the river.
13
So then, why have you destroyed its walls, so that all those who pass by the way gather its grapes?
14
The wild boar of the forest has trampled it, and a single wild beast has laid waste to it.(b)
15
Turn back, O God of hosts. Look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vineyard;
16
and complete what your right hand has planted, and look upon the son of man, whom you have confirmed for yourself.
17
Whatever has been set on fire and dug under will perish at the rebuke of your countenance.(c)
18
Let your hand be over the man on your right,(d) and over the son of man, whom you have confirmed for yourself.
19
For we do not depart from you, and you will revive us. And we will invoke your name.
20
O Lord, God of hosts, convert us. And reveal your face, and we will be saved.

(a)79:5 There are two possible meanings here (at least). One meaning is that God is angry despite (over and above) the prayer of His servant. The other meaning is that He is angry at the inappropriate or sinful prayer of someone who is otherwise a servant of God. Some make the mistake of the Pharisee, praying with some degree of selfishness or self-exaltation. Prayer is not necessarily pleasing to God.(Conte)
(b)79:14 The word ‘exterminavit’ does not translate as ‘exterminate.’ Rather, it has the sense of crossing a limit or border, or breaking out of a limit or border. In this context, the sense is that the borders and fences of the vineyard have been broken down and trampled over. Also, the ‘singularis ferus’ could be a ‘single wild beast,’ or even a ‘singular wild beast.’(Conte)
(c)79:17 Things set on fire, etc:So this vineyard of thine, almost consumed already, must perish, if you continue your rebukes.(Challoner)
(d)79:18 The man of thy right hand:Christ.(Challoner)

We thank you, for your name is near

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.
