Psalms 80
1 [For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "The Lilies of the Covenant." A Psalm by Asaph.] Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock, you who sit above 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 your might. Come to save us.
Before Ephraim and Beniamin and Manasseh stirre vp thy strength, and come to helpe vs.
3 Restore us, God. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.
Turne vs againe, O God, and cause thy face to shine that we may be saued.
4 YHWH, the God of hosts, How long will you be angry against the prayer of your people?
O Lord God of hostes, how long wilt thou be angrie against the prayer of thy people?
5 You have 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 You make us a source of contention to our neighbors. Our enemies have mocked us.
Thou hast made vs a strife vnto our neighbours, and our enemies laugh at vs among themselues.
7 Restore us, God of hosts. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.
Turne vs againe, O God of hostes: cause thy face to shine, and we shalbe saued.
8 You brought a vine out of Egypt. You drove out the nations, and planted it.
Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
9 You cleared the ground for it. 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 its shadow. Its boughs were like God's cedars.
The mountaines were couered with the shadowe of it, and the boughes thereof were like the goodly cedars.
11 It sent out its branches to the sea, Its shoots to the River.
Shee stretched out her branches vnto the Sea, and her boughes vnto the Riuer.
12 Why have you broken down its walls, so that all those who pass by the way pluck it?
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 ravages it. The wild animals of the field feed on it.
The wilde bore out of the wood hath destroyed it, and the wilde beastes of the fielde haue eaten it vp.
14 Return, we beg you, God of hosts. Look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vine,
Returne we beseech thee, O God of hostes: looke downe from heauen and beholde and visite this vine,
15 the stock which your right hand planted, the branch that you made strong for yourself.
And the vineyard, that thy right hand hath planted, and the young vine, which thou madest strong for thy selfe.
16 It's burned with fire. It's cut down. They perish at your rebuke.
It is burnt with fire and cut downe: and they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
17 Let your hand be on the man of your right hand, on the son of man whom you made strong for yourself.
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 we will not turn away from you. Revive us, and we will call on your name.
So will not we goe backe from thee: reuiue thou vs, and we shall call vpon thy Name.
19 Restore us, YHWH, the God of hosts. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.
Turne vs againe, O Lord God of hostes: cause thy face to shine and we shalbe saued.
