Psalms 80

1 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.

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 strength, and come [and] save us.

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

3 Turn us again, O God, 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 feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great 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 to our neighbors: and our enemies laugh among themselves.

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

7 Turn us again, O God of hosts, 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 hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast 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 Thou preparedst [room] before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.

Thou madest roume for it, and didest cause it to take roote, and it filled the land.

10 The hills were covered with the shade of it, and its boughs [were like] the goodly cedars.

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

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

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

12 Why hast thou [then] broke down her hedges, so that all they who 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 from the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour 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 beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;

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

15 And the vineyard which thy right hand 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] burnt 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 will we not go back from thee: revive 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 Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, 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.
