1 victori pro liliis testimonii Asaph canticum
2 qui pascis Israhel ausculta
qui ducis quasi gregem Ioseph
qui sedes super cherubin ostendere
3 ante Efraim et Beniamin et Manasse
suscita fortitudinem tuam et veni ut salvos facias nos
4 Deus converte nos et ostende faciem tuam et salvi erimus
5 Domine Deus exercituum
usquequo fumabis ad orationem populi tui
6 cibasti nos pane flebili et potasti nos in lacrimis tripliciter
7 posuisti nos contentionem vicinis nostris
et inimici nostri subsannaverunt nos
8 Deus exercituum converte nos
et ostende faciem tuam et salvi erimus
9 vineam de Aegypto tulisti eiecisti gentes et plantasti eam
10 praeparasti ante faciem eius
et stabilisti radices eius et implevit
terram
11 operti sunt montes umbra eius et ramis illius cedri Dei
12 expandit comas suas usque ad mare
et usque ad Flumen germina sua
13 quare dissipasti maceriam eius
et vindemiaverunt eam omnes qui transeunt per viam
14 vastavit eam aper de silva
et omnes bestiae agri depastae sunt eam
15 Deus exercituum revertere obsecro
respice de caelo et vide et visita vineam hanc
16 et radicem quam plantavit dextera tua
et filium quem confirmasti tibi
17 succensam igni et deramatam ab increpatione faciei tuae pereant
18 fiat manus tua super virum dexterae tuae
et super filium hominis quem confirmasti tibi
19 et non recedemus a te vivificabis nos
et nomine tuo vocabimur
20 Domine Deus exercituum converte nos
et ostende faciem tuam et salvi erimus
A Psalm of Asaph.
1 O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.
2 The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.
3 Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them .
4 We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
5 How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?
6 Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.
7 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.
8 O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.
9 Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name’s sake.
10 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed.
11 Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die;
12 And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.
13 So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will shew forth thy praise to all generations.
