1To the choirmaster: according to Lilies. A Testimony. Of Asaph, a Psalm. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock. You who are enthroned upon the cherubim, shine forth. (出25:22; 撒上4:4; 撒下6:2; 诗50:1; 诗50:2; 诗60:1; 诗77:20; 诗78:67; 诗81:5; 诗95:7; 诗99:1)2Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up your might and come to save us! (民2:18; 诗35:23; 诗118:14; 诗118:21)3Restore us,[1] O God; let your face shine, that we may be saved! (民6:25; 诗4:6; 诗60:1; 诗80:19; 诗85:4; 哀5:21)4O Lord God of hosts, how long will you be angry with your people’s prayers? (诗59:5; 诗74:10; 诗79:5)5You have fed them with the bread of tears and given them tears to drink in full measure. (王上22:27; 诗42:3; 诗102:9; 赛30:20)6You make us an object of contention for our neighbors, and our enemies laugh among themselves. (诗44:13)7Restore us, O God of hosts; let your face shine, that we may be saved! (诗80:3)8You brought a vine out of Egypt; you drove out the nations and planted it. (诗44:2; 赛5:1; 赛27:2; 耶2:21; 耶12:10; 结17:6; 太21:33; 可12:1; 路20:9)9You cleared the ground for it; it took deep root and filled the land. (书24:12)10The mountains were covered with its shade, the mighty cedars with its branches.11It sent out its branches to the sea and its shoots to the River.[2] (诗72:8)12Why then have you broken down its walls, so that all who pass along the way pluck its fruit? (诗89:40; 赛5:5)13The boar from the forest ravages it, and all that move in the field feed on it. (耶5:6)14Turn again, O God of hosts! Look down from heaven, and see; have regard for this vine, (赛63:15)15the stock that your right hand planted, and for the son whom you made strong for yourself.16They have burned it with fire; they have cut it down; may they perish at the rebuke of your face! (诗39:11; 诗76:6; 赛33:12)17But let your hand be on the man of your right hand, the son of man whom you have made strong for yourself! (诗89:21)18Then we shall not turn back from you; give us life, and we will call upon your name! (诗71:20)19Restore us, O Lord God of hosts! Let your face shine, that we may be saved! (诗80:3; 诗80:7)
