Psalms 80

1 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, you that lead Joseph like a flock; you that dwell between 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 and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up your strength, and come and save us.

Stir up thy might before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, and come to save us.

3 Turn us again, O God, and cause your face to shine; 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 will you be angry against the prayer of your people?

O Jehovah God of hosts, how long will thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?

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

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

6 You make us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.

Thou make us hatred to our neighbors, and our enemies laugh among themselves.

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

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

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

Thou brought a vine out of Egypt. Thou drove out the nations, and planted it.

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

Thou prepared place before it, and it took deep root, and filled the land.

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

The mountains were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs of it were like cedars of God.

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

It sent out its branches to the sea, and its shoots to the River.

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

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 does waste it, and the wild beast of the field does devour it.

The boar out of the wood ravages it, and the wild beasts of the field feed on it.

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

Turn again, we beseech thee, O God of hosts. Look down from heaven, and, behold, and visit this vine,

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

and the stock which thy right hand planted, and the branch that thou made strong for thyself.

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

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

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

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

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

so shall we not go back from thee. Revive thou us, and we will call upon thy name.

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

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