Psalms 80
1 For the chief musician, set to the Shoshannim Eduth style. A psalm of Asaph. Pay attention, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock; you who sit above the cherubim, shine on us!
Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou who lead Joseph like a flock. Thou who sit above the cherubim, shine forth.
2 In the sight of Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up your power; come and save us.
Stir up thy might before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, and come to save us.
3 God, restore us; make your face shine on us, and we will be saved.
Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
4 Yahweh God of hosts, how long will you be angry at your people when they pray?
O Jehovah God of hosts, how long will thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
5 You have fed them with the bread of tears and given them tears to drink in great quantities.
Thou have fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in large measure.
6 You make us something for our neighbors to argue over, and our enemies laugh about us among themselves.
Thou make us hatred to our neighbors, and our enemies laugh among themselves.
7 God of hosts, restore us; make your face shine on us, and we will be saved.
Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
8 You brought a vine out of Egypt; you drove out nations and transplanted it.
Thou brought a vine out of Egypt. Thou drove out the nations, and planted it.
9 You cleared the land for it; it took root and filled the land.
Thou prepared place before it, and it took deep root, and filled the land.
10 The mountains were covered with its shade, the cedars of God by its branches.
The mountains were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs of it were like cedars of God.
11 It sent out its branches as far as the sea and its shoots to the Euphrates River.
It sent out its branches to the sea, and its shoots to the River.
12 Why have you broken down its walls so that all who pass by along the road pluck its fruit?
Why have thou broken down its walls, so that all those who pass by the way pluck it?
13 The boars out of the forest ruin it, and the beasts of the field feed on it.
The boar out of the wood ravages it, and the wild beasts of the field feed on it.
14 Turn back, God of hosts; look down from heaven and take notice and take care of this vine.
Turn again, we beseech thee, O God of hosts. Look down from heaven, and, behold, and visit this vine,
15 This is the root that your right hand planted, the shoot that you made to grow.
and the stock which thy right hand planted, and the branch that thou made strong for thyself.
16 It has been burned and cut down; they perish because of your rebuke.
It is burned with fire, it is cut down. They perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
17 May your hand be on the man of your right hand, on 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 Then we will not turn away from you; revive us, and we will call on your name.
so shall we not go back from thee. Revive thou us, and we will call upon thy name.
19 Yahweh God of hosts, restore us; make your face shine on us, and we will be saved.
Turn us again, O Jehovah God of hosts, cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
