Psalms 80
1Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, 1 Thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; 1 Thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth. 1
2Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh 1 Stir up thy strength, 1 And come and save us. 1
3Turn us again, O God, 1 And cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. 1
4O Lord God of hosts, 1 How long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people? 1
5Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; 1 And givest them tears to drink in great measure. 1
6Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: 1 And our enemies laugh among themselves. 1
7Turn us again, O God of hosts, 1 And cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. 1
8Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: 1 Thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it. 1
9Thou preparedst room before it, 1 And didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land. 1
10The hills were covered with the shadow of it, 1 And the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars. 1
11She sent out her boughs unto the sea, 1 And her branches unto the river. 1
12Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, 1 So that all they which pass by the way do pluck her? 1
13The boar out of the wood doth waste it, 1 And the wild beast of the field doth devour it. 1
14Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: 1 Look down from heaven, and behold, 1 And visit this vine; 1
15And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, 1 And the branch that thou madest strong for thyself. 1
16It is burnt with fire, it is cut down: 1 They perish at the rebuke of thy countenance. 1
17Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, 1 Upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself. 1
18So will not we go back from thee: 1 Quicken us, and we will call upon thy name. 1
19Turn us again, O Lord God of hosts, 1 Cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
