Psalms 80
1 For the end, for alternate [strains], a testimony for Asaph, a Psalm concerning the Assyrian. Attend, O Shepherd of Israel, who guide Joseph like a flock; you who sit upon the cherubs, manifest yourself;
To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim Eduth, A Psalm of Asaph. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest [between] the cherubim, shine forth.
2 before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasse, stir up your power, and come to deliver us.
Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come [and] save us.
3 Turn us, O God, and cause your face to shine; and we shall be delivered.
Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
4 O Lord God of hosts, how long are you angry with the prayer of your servant?
O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
5 You will feed us with bread of tears; and will cause us to drink tears by measure.
Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.
6 You has made us a strife to our neighbors; and our enemies have mocked at us.
Thou makest us a strife to our neighbors: and our enemies laugh among themselves.
7 Turn us, O Lord God of hosts, and cause your face to shine; and we shall be saved. (Pause)
Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
8 You have transplanted a vine out of Egypt: you have cast out the heathen, and planted it.
Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
9 You made a way before it, and did cause its roots to strike, and the land was filled [with it].
Thou preparedst [room] before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.
10 Its shadow covered the mountains, and its shoots [equalled] the goodly cedars.
The hills were covered with the shade of it, and its boughs [were like] the goodly cedars.
11 It sent forth its branches to the sea, and its shoots to the river.
She sent out her boughs to the sea, and her branches to the river.
12 Therefore have you broken down its hedge, while all that pass by the way pluck it?
Why hast thou [then] broke down her hedges, so that all they who pass by the way do pluck her?
13 The boar out of the wood has laid it waste, and the wild beast has devoured it.
The boar from the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.
14 O God of hosts, turn, we pray you: look on [us] from heaven, and behold and visit this vine;
Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
15 and restore that which your right hand has planted: and look on the son of man whom you did strengthen for yourself.
And the vineyard which thy right hand planted, and the branch [that] thou madest strong for thyself.
16 [It is] burnt with fire and dug up: they shall perish at the rebuke of your presence.
[It is] burnt 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, and upon the son of man whom you did strengthen for yourself.
Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man [whom] thou madest strong for thyself.
18 So will we not depart from you: you shall quicken us, and we will call upon your name.
So will we not go back from thee: revive us, and we will call upon thy name.
19 Turn us, O Lord God of hosts, and make your face to shine; and we shall be saved.
Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
