CPDV - Psalms - 79

79:1  Unto the end. For those who will be changed. The testimony of Asaph. A Psalm.

79:2  The One who reigns over Israel: Be attentive. For you lead Joseph like a sheep. The One who sits upon the cherubim: Shine forth

79:3  in the presence of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Awaken your power and draw near, so as to accomplish our salvation.

79:4  Convert us, O God. And reveal your face, and we will be saved.

79:5  O Lord, God of hosts, how long will you be angry over the prayer of your servant?

79:6  How long will you feed us the bread of tears, and give us to drink a full measure of tears?

79:7  You have set us as a contradiction to our neighbors. And our enemies have ridiculed us.

79:8  O God of hosts, convert us. And reveal your face, and we will be saved.

79:9  You have transferred a vineyard from Egypt. You have cast out the Gentiles, and planted it.

79:10  You were the leader of the journey in its sight. You planted its roots, and it filled the earth.

79:11  Its shadow covered the hills, and its branches covered the cedars of God.

79:12  It extended its new branches even to the sea, and its new seedlings even to the river.

79:13  So then, why have you destroyed its walls, so that all those who pass by the way gather its grapes?

79:14  The wild boar of the forest has trampled it, and a single wild beast has laid waste to it.

79:15  Turn back, O God of hosts. Look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vineyard;

79:16  and complete what your right hand has planted, and look upon the son of man, whom you have confirmed for yourself.

79:17  Whatever has been set on fire and dug under will perish at the rebuke of your countenance.

79:18  Let your hand be over the man on your right, and over the son of man, whom you have confirmed for yourself.

79:19  For we do not depart from you, and you will revive us. And we will invoke your name.

79:20  O Lord, God of hosts, convert us. And reveal your face, and we will be saved.
