Qui regis Israel.
A prayer for the church in tribulation, commemorating God's former
favours.
79:1. Unto the end, for them that shall be changed, a testimony for
Asaph, a psalm.
79:2. Give ear, O thou that rulest Israel: thou that leadest Joseph like
a sheep. Thou that sittest upon the cherubims, shine forth
79:3. Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasses. Stir up thy might, and
come to save us.
79:4. Convert us, O God: and shew us thy face, and we shall be saved.
79:5. O Lord God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the
prayer of thy servant?
79:6. How long wilt thou feed us with the bread of tears: and give us
for our drink tears in measure?
79:7. Thou hast made us to be a contradiction to our neighbours: and our
enemies have scoffed at us.
79:8. O God of hosts, convert us: and shew thy face, and we shall be
saved.
79:9. Thou hast brought a vineyard out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the
Gentiles and planted it.
79:10. Thou wast the guide of its journey in its sight: thou plantedst
the roots thereof, and it filled the land.
79:11. The shadow of it covered the hills: and the branches thereof the
cedars of God.
79:12. It stretched forth its branches unto the sea, and its boughs unto
the river.
79:13. Why hast thou broken down the hedge thereof, so that all they who
pass by the way do pluck it?
79:14. The boar out of the wood hath laid it waste: and a singular wild
beast hath devoured it.
79:15. Turn again, O God of hosts, look down from heaven, and see, and
visit this vineyard:
79:16. And perfect the same which thy right hand hath planted: and upon
the son of man whom thou hast confirmed for thyself.
79:17. Things set on fire and dug down shall perish at the rebuke of thy
countenance.
Things set on fire, etc... So this vineyard of thine, almost consumed
already, must perish, if thou continue thy rebukes.
79:18. Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand: and upon the son
of man whom thou hast confirmed for thyself.
The man of thy right hand... Christ.
79:19. And we depart not from thee, thou shalt quicken us: and we will
call upon thy name.
79:20. O Lord God of hosts, convert us and shew thy face, and we shall
be saved.
Psalms Chapter 80
Exultate Deo.
An invitation to a solemn praising of God.
80:1. Unto the end, for the winepresses, a psalm for Asaph himself.
For the winepresses, etc... Torcularibus. It either signifies a musical
instrument, or that this psalm was to be sung at the feast of the
tabernacles after the gathering in of the vintage.
