1 victori in torcularibus Asaph
2 laudate Deum fortitudinem nostram
iubilate Deo Iacob
3 adsumite carmen et date tympanum citharam decoram cum psalterio
4 clangite in neomenia bucina
et in medio mense die sollemnitatis nostrae
5 quia legitimum Israhel est et iudicium Dei Iacob
6 testimonium in Ioseph posuit
cum egrederetur terra Aegypti
labium quod nesciebam audivi
7 amovi ab onere umerum eius manus eius a cofino recesserunt
8 in tribulatione invocasti et erui te
exaudivi te in abscondito tonitrui
probavi te super aquam Contradictionis semper
9 audi populus meus et contestor te Israhel si audieris me
10 non sit in te deus alienus et non adores deum peregrinum
11 ego sum Dominus Deus tuus qui eduxi te de terra Aegypti
dilata os tuum et implebo illud
12 et non audivit populus meus vocem meam
et Israhel non credidit mihi
13 et dimisi eum in pravitate cordis sui
ambulabunt in consiliis suis
14 utinam populus meus audisset me Israhel in viis meis ambulasset
15 quasi nihilum inimicos eius humiliassem
et super hostes eorum vertissem manum meam
16 qui oderunt Dominum negabunt eum
et erit tempus eorum in saeculo
17 et cibavit eos de adipe frumenti
et de petra mellis saturavit eos
To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim-eduth, A Psalm of Asaph.
1 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.
2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us.
3 Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
4 O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
5 Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.
6 Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.
7 Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
8 Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
9 Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.
10 The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.
11 She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.
12 Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?
13 The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.
14 Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
15 And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.
16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
17 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.
18 So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.
19 Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
