Psalms 80
1 Unto the end. For those who will be changed. The testimony of Asaph. A Psalm. The One who reigns over Israel: Be attentive. For you lead Joseph like a sheep. The One who sits upon the cherubim: Shine forth
Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, you that lead Joseph like a flock; you that dwell between the cherubim, shine forth.
2 in the presence of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Awaken your power and draw near, so as to accomplish our salvation.
Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up your strength, and come and save us.
3 Convert us, O God. And reveal your face, and we will be saved.
Turn us again, O God, and cause your face to shine; and we shall be saved.
4 O Lord, God of hosts, how long will you be angry over the prayer of your servant?
O LORD God of hosts, how long will you be angry against the prayer of your people?
5 How long will you feed us the bread of tears, and give us to drink a full measure of tears?
You feed them with the bread of tears; and give them tears to drink in great measure.
6 You have set us as a contradiction to our neighbors. And our enemies have ridiculed us.
You make us a strife to our neighbors: and our enemies laugh among themselves.
7 O God of hosts, convert us. And reveal your face, and we will be saved.
Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause your face to shine; and we shall be saved.
8 You have transferred a vineyard from Egypt. You have cast out the Gentiles, and planted it.
You have brought a vine out of Egypt: you have cast out the heathen, and planted it.
9 You were the leader of the journey in its sight. You planted its roots, and it filled the earth.
You prepared room before it, and did cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.
10 Its shadow covered the hills, and its branches covered the cedars of God.
The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.
11 It extended its new branches even to the sea, and its new seedlings even to the river.
She sent out her boughs to the sea, and her branches to the river.
12 So then, why have you destroyed its walls, so that all those who pass by the way gather its grapes?
Why have you then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?
13 The wild boar of the forest has trampled it, and a single wild beast has laid waste to it.
The boar out of the wood does waste it, and the wild beast of the field does devour it.
14 Turn back, O God of hosts. Look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vineyard;
Return, we beseech you, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
15 and complete what your right hand has planted, and look upon the son of man, whom you have confirmed for yourself.
And the vineyard which your right hand has planted, and the branch that you made strong for yourself.
16 Whatever has been set on fire and dug under will perish at the rebuke of your countenance.
It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of your countenance.
17 Let your hand be over the man on your right, and over the son of man, whom you have confirmed for yourself.
Let your hand be on the man of your right hand, on the son of man whom you made strong for yourself.
18 For we do not depart from you, and you will revive us. And we will invoke your name.
So will not we go back from you: quicken us, and we will call on your name.
19 O Lord, God of hosts, convert us. And reveal your face, and we will be saved.
Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause your face to shine; and we shall be saved.
