Psalms 80
1 Unto the end, for them that shall he changed, a testimony for Asaph, a psalm. Give ear, O thou that rulest Israel: thou that leadest Joseph like a sheep. Thou that sittest upon the cherubims, shine forth
Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou who lead Joseph like a flock. Thou who sit above the cherubim, shine forth.
2 Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasses. Stir up thy might, and come to save us.
Stir up thy might before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, and come to save us.
3 Convert us, O God: and shew us thy face, and we shall be saved.
Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
4 O Lord God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy servant?
O Jehovah God of hosts, how long will thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
5 How long wilt thou feed us with the bread of tears: and give us for our drink tears in measure?
Thou have fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in large measure.
6 Thou hast made us to be a contradiction to our neighbours: and our enemies have scoffed at us.
Thou make us hatred to our neighbors, and our enemies laugh among themselves.
7 O God of hosts, convert us: and shew thy face, and we shall be saved.
Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
8 Thou hast brought a vineyard out of Egypt: thou hast cast cut the Gentiles and planted it.
Thou brought a vine out of Egypt. Thou drove out the nations, and planted it.
9 Thou wast the guide of its journey in its sight: thou plantedst the roots thereof, and it filled the land.
Thou prepared place before it, and it took deep root, and filled the land.
10 The shadow of it covered the hills: and the branches thereof the cedars of God.
The mountains were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs of it were like cedars of God.
11 It stretched forth its branches unto the sea, and its boughs unto the river.
It sent out its branches to the sea, and its shoots to the River.
12 Why hast thou broken down the hedge thereof, so that all they who pass by the way do pluck it?
Why have thou broken down its walls, so that all those who pass by the way pluck it?
13 The boar out of the wood hath laid it waste: and a singular wild beast hath devoured it.
The boar out of the wood ravages it, and the wild beasts of the field feed on it.
14 Turn again, O God of hosts, look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vineyard:
Turn again, we beseech thee, O God of hosts. Look down from heaven, and, behold, and visit this vine,
15 And perfect the same which thy right hand hath planted: and upon the son of man whom thou hast confirmed for thyself.
and the stock which thy right hand planted, and the branch that thou made strong for thyself.
16 Things set on fire and dug down shall perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
It is burned with fire, it is cut down. They perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
17 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand: and upon the son of man whom thou hast confirmed for thyself.
Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou made strong for thyself,
18 And we depart not from thee, thou shalt quicken us: and we will call upon thy name.
so shall we not go back from thee. Revive thou us, and we will call upon thy name.
19 O Lord God of hosts, convert us: and shew thy face, and we shall be saved.
Turn us again, O Jehovah God of hosts, cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
