Translation & textual notes

The Greek text of Psalms 80 follows the standard critical text of the Septuagint as established in the Rahlfs-Hanhart edition (Septuaginta, rev. ed. 2006), an ancient and public-domain text; the critical apparatus is not reproduced. This Asaph psalm begins as a festival summons, calling Israel to rejoice, sound the trumpet, and keep the appointed feast as a statute rooted in the exodus memory. The middle of the psalm shifts into direct divine speech: God recalls hearing Israel in Egypt, removing the burden from their shoulders, answering them in distress, and testing them at the waters of contradiction. From there the chapter becomes a covenant admonition against foreign worship, followed by grief over Israel's refusal to listen and the judicial handing over of the people to their own counsels. The close imagines the blessing that obedience would have brought: subdued enemies, enduring security, and rich provision with wheat and honey from the rock. Versification follows the LXX.
