Psalms 80

1 To the chief Musician. On Shoshannim-Eduth. Of Asaph. A Psalm. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that sittest [between] 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 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up thy strength, and come to our deliverance.

Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up your strength, and come and save us.

3 O God, restore us; and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

Turn us again, O God, and cause your face to shine; and we shall be saved.

4 Jehovah, God of hosts, how long will thine anger smoke against the prayer of thy people?

O LORD God of hosts, how long will you be angry against the prayer of your people?

5 Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in large measure:

You feed them with the bread of tears; and give them tears to drink in great measure.

6 Thou hast made us a strife unto our neighbours, and our enemies mock among themselves.

You make us a strife to our neighbors: and our enemies laugh among themselves.

7 Restore us, O God of hosts; and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause your face to shine; and we shall be saved.

8 Thou broughtest a vine out of Egypt; thou didst cast out the nations, and plant it:

You have brought a vine out of Egypt: you have cast out the heathen, and planted it.

9 Thou preparedst space before it, and it took deep root, and filled the land;

You prepared room before it, and did cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.

10 The mountains were covered with its shadow, and the branches thereof were [like] cedars of God;

The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.

11 It sent out its boughs unto the sea, and its shoots unto the river.

She sent out her boughs to the sea, and her branches to the river.

12 Why hast thou broken down its fences, so that all who pass by the way do pluck it?

Why have you then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?

13 The boar out of the forest doth waste it, and the beast of the field doth feed off it.

The boar out of the wood does waste it, and the wild beast of the field does devour it.

14 O God of hosts, return, we beseech thee; look down from the heavens, and behold, and visit this vine;

Return, we beseech you, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;

15 Even the stock which thy right hand hath planted, and the young plant thou madest strong for thyself.

And the vineyard which your right hand has planted, and the branch that you made strong for yourself.

16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down; they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.

It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of your countenance.

17 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou hast made strong for thyself.

Let your hand be on the man of your right hand, on the son of man whom you made strong for yourself.

18 So will we not go back from thee. Revive us, and we will call upon thy name.

So will not we go back from you: quicken us, and we will call on your name.

19 Restore us, O Jehovah, God of hosts; cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause your face to shine; and we shall be saved.
