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
For the leader. On shoshannim, eduth. Of Asaph, a psalm. Listen, Shepherd of Israel, who leads Joseph like a flock of sheep; from your throne on the cherubs 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, Manasseh, and Benjamin. Stir up your mighty power, come to our help.
3 Convert us, O God. And reveal your face, and we will be saved.
God, restore us: show us the light of your face, so we may be saved.
4 O Lord, God of hosts, how long will you be angry over the prayer of your servant?
O Lord of hosts, how long is your anger to smoke, despite 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 have fed them with bread of tears, you have made them drink tears by the measure.
6 You have set us as a contradiction to our neighbors. And our enemies have ridiculed us.
The scorn of our neighbours you make us, the laughing-stock of our foes.
7 O God of hosts, convert us. And reveal your face, and we will be saved.
God of hosts, restore us: show us the light of your face, so we may be saved.
8 You have transferred a vineyard from Egypt. You have cast out the Gentiles, and planted it.
A vine out of Egypt you brought; you did drive out the nations, and plant her;
9 You were the leader of the journey in its sight. You planted its roots, and it filled the earth.
in the ground you did clear she struck root, and she filled all the land.
10 Its shadow covered the hills, and its branches covered the cedars of God.
The shade of her covered the mountains, her branches the cedars of God.
11 It extended its new branches even to the sea, and its new seedlings even to the river.
She sent forth her shoots to the sea, and her branches as far as 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 torn down her fences, and left her to be plucked at by all who pass by,
13 The wild boar of the forest has trampled it, and a single wild beast has laid waste to it.
to be gnawed by the boar from the forest, and devoured by the beasts of the field?
14 Turn back, O God of hosts. Look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vineyard;
O God of hosts, return: look down from heaven and see and visit this vine, and restore her
15 and complete what your right hand has planted, and look upon the son of man, whom you have confirmed for yourself.
the vine which your right hand has planted.
16 Whatever has been set on fire and dug under will perish at the rebuke of your countenance.
She is burned with fire and cut down before your stern face they are perishing.
17 Let your hand be over the man on your right, and over the son of man, whom you have confirmed for yourself.
Support the one you have chosen, the one you have raised for yourself;
18 For we do not depart from you, and you will revive us. And we will invoke your name.
then from you we will never draw back. Preserve 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.
Lord, God of hosts, restore us: Show us the light of your face, so we may be saved.
