Psalms 80
1 For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Lilies of the Covenant.” A Psalm of Asaph. Hear us, O Shepherd of Israel, who leads Joseph like a flock; You who sit enthroned between the cherubim, shine forth
To him that excelleth on Shoshannim Eduth. A Psalme committed to Asaph. Heare, O thou Shepheard of Israel, thou that leadest Ioseph like sheepe: shewe thy brightnes, thou that sittest betweene the Cherubims.
2 before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Rally Your mighty power and come to save us.
Before Ephraim and Beniamin and Manasseh stirre vp thy strength, and come to helpe vs.
3 Restore us, O God, and cause Your face to shine upon us, that we may be saved.
Turne vs againe, O God, and cause thy face to shine that we may be saued.
4 O LORD God of Hosts, how long will Your anger smolder against the prayers of Your people?
O Lord God of hostes, how long wilt thou be angrie against the prayer of thy people?
5 You fed them with the bread of tears and made them drink the full measure of their tears.
Thou hast fedde them with the bread of teares, and giuen them teares to drinke with great measure.
6 You make us contend with our neighbors; our enemies mock us.
Thou hast made vs a strife vnto our neighbours, and our enemies laugh at vs among themselues.
7 Restore us, O God of Hosts, and cause Your face to shine upon us, that we may be saved.
Turne vs againe, O God of hostes: cause thy face to shine, and we shalbe saued.
8 You uprooted a vine from Egypt; You drove out the nations and transplanted it.
Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
9 You cleared the ground for it, and it took root and filled the land.
Thou madest roume for it, and didest cause it to take roote, and it filled the land.
10 The mountains were covered by its shade, and the mighty cedars with its branches.
The mountaines were couered with the shadowe of it, and the boughes thereof were like the goodly cedars.
11 It sent out its branches to the Sea, and its shoots toward the River.
Shee stretched out her branches vnto the Sea, and her boughes vnto the Riuer.
12 Why have You broken down its walls, so that all who pass by pick its fruit?
Why hast thou then broken downe her hedges, so that all they, which passe by the way, haue plucked her?
13 The boar from the forest ravages it, and the creatures of the field feed upon it.
The wilde bore out of the wood hath destroyed it, and the wilde beastes of the fielde haue eaten it vp.
14 Return, O God of Hosts, we pray! Look down from heaven and see! Attend to this vine—
Returne we beseech thee, O God of hostes: looke downe from heauen and beholde and visite this vine,
15 the root Your right hand has planted, the son You have raised up for Yourself.
And the vineyard, that thy right hand hath planted, and the young vine, which thou madest strong for thy selfe.
16 Your vine has been cut down and burned; they perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.
It is burnt with fire and cut downe: and they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
17 Let Your hand be upon the man at Your right hand, on the son of man You have raised up for Yourself.
Let thine hande be vpon the man of thy right hande, and vpon the sonne of man, whome thou madest strong for thine owne selfe.
18 Then we will not turn away from You; revive us, and we will call on Your name.
So will not we goe backe from thee: reuiue thou vs, and we shall call vpon thy Name.
19 Restore us, O LORD God of Hosts; cause Your face to shine upon us, that we may be saved.
Turne vs againe, O Lord God of hostes: cause thy face to shine and we shalbe saued.
