Psalms 80

1 For the Leader; upon Shoshannim. A testimony. A Psalm of Asaph. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, Thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; Thou that art enthroned upon 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 and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up Thy might, and come to save us.

Before Ephraim and Beniamin and Manasseh stirre vp thy strength, and come to helpe vs.

3 O God, restore us; and cause Thy face to shine, and we shall 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 wilt Thou be angry against the prayer of Thy people?

O Lord God of hostes, how long wilt thou be angrie against the prayer of thy people?

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

Thou hast fedde them with the bread of teares, and giuen them teares to drinke with great measure.

6 Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours; and our enemies mock as they please.

Thou hast made vs a strife vnto our neighbours, and our enemies laugh at vs among themselues.

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

Turne vs againe, O God of hostes: cause thy face to shine, and we shalbe saued.

8 Thou didst pluck up a vine out of Egypt; Thou didst drive out the nations, and didst plant it.

Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.

9 Thou didst clear a place before it, and it took deep 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 with the shadow of it, and the mighty cedars with the boughs thereof.

The mountaines were couered with the shadowe of it, and the boughes thereof were like the goodly cedars.

11 She sent out her branches unto the sea, and her shoots unto the River.

Shee stretched out her branches vnto the Sea, and her boughes vnto the Riuer.

12 Why hast Thou broken down her fences, so that all they that pass by the way do pluck her?

Why hast thou then broken downe her hedges, so that all they, which passe by the way, haue plucked her?

13 The boar out of the wood doth ravage it, that which moveth in the field feedeth on it.

The wilde bore out of the wood hath destroyed it, and the wilde beastes of the fielde haue eaten it vp.

14 O God of hosts, return, we beseech Thee; look from heaven, and behold, and be mindful of this vine,

Returne we beseech thee, O God of hostes: looke downe from heauen and beholde and visite this vine,

15 And of the stock which Thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that Thou madest strong for Thyself.

And the vineyard, that thy right hand hath planted, and the young vine, which thou madest strong for thy selfe.

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

It is burnt with fire and cut downe: and they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.

17 Let Thy hand be upon the man of Thy right hand, upon the son of man whom Thou madest strong for Thyself.

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 So shall we not turn back from Thee; quicken Thou us, and we will call upon Thy name.

So will not we goe backe from thee: reuiue thou vs, and we shall call vpon thy Name.

19 O LORD God of hosts, restore us; cause Thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

Turne vs againe, O Lord God of hostes: cause thy face to shine and we shalbe saued.
