Psalms 80

PSALM 80
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
To the chief musician upon Shoshannim, Eduth,
A Psalm of Asaph.
1Hear, Isr'el's Shepherd! like a flock
thou that dost Joseph guide;
Shine forth, O thou that dost between
the cherubims abide.
2In Ephraim's, and Benjamin's
and in Manasseh's sight,
O come for our salvation;
stir up thy strength and might.
3Turn us again, O Lord our God,
and upon us vouchsafe
To make thy countenance to shine,
and so we shall be safe.
4O Lord of hosts, almighty God,
how long shall kindled be
Thy wrath against the prayer made
by thine own folk to thee?
5Thou tears of sorrow giv'st to them
instead of bread to eat;
Yea, tears instead of drink thou giv'st
to them in measure great.
6Thou makest us a strife unto
our neighbours round about;
Our enemies among themselves
at us do laugh and flout.
7Turn us again, O God of hosts,
and upon us vouchsafe
To make thy countenance to shine,
and so we shall be safe.
8A vine from Egypt brought thou hast,
by thine outstretched hand;
And thou the heathen out didst cast,
to plant it in their land.
9Before it thou a room didst make,
where it might grow and stand;
Thou causedst it deep root to take,
and it did fill the land.
10The mountains vail'd were with its shade,
as with a covering;
Like goodly cedars were the boughs
which out from it did spring.
11Upon the one hand to the sea
her boughs she did out send;
On th' other side unto the flood
her branches did extend.
12Why hast thou then thus broken down,
and ta'en her hedge away?
So that all passengers do pluck,
and make of her a prey.
13The boar who from the forest comes
doth waste it at his pleasure;
The wild beast of the field also
devours it out of measure.
14O God of hosts, we thee beseech,
return now unto thine;
Look down from heav'n in love, behold,
and visit this thy vine:
15This vineyard, which thine own right hand
hath planted us among;
And that same branch, which for thyself
thou hast made to be strong.
16Burnt up it is with flaming fire,
it also is cut down:
They utterly are perished,
when as thy face doth frown.
17O let thy hand be still upon
the Man of thy right hand,
The Son of man, whom for thyself
thou madest strong to stand.
18So henceforth we will not go back,
nor turn from thee at all:
O do thou quicken us,
and we upon thy name will call.
19Turn us again,
Lord God of hosts,
and upon us vouchsafe
To make thy countenance to shine,
and so we shall be safe.

Tehillim 80
80
(For the one directing. Set to The Lilies of the Edut. Of Asaph. Mizmor.)
1 Give ear, O Ro'eh Yisroel, Thou that leadest Yosef like a tzon; Thou that art enthroned between the Keruvim, shine forth.
2 Before Ephrayim and Binyamin and Menasheh, Stir up Thy gevurah (might), and come and save us.
3 Turn us again, O Elohim, and cause Thy face to shine that we may be saved.
4 Hashem Elohim Tzva'os, ad mosai (how long) wilt Thou be angry against the tefillat amecha (prayer of Thy people)?
5 Thou feedest them with the lechem dimah (bread of tears); and givest them dima'ot (tears) to drink in great measure.
6 Thou makest us a madon (strife, contention) unto shcheneinu (our neighbors), and oyveinu (our enemies) mock us.
7 Turn us again, O Elohim Tzva'os, and cause Thy face to shine that we may be saved.
8 Thou hast brought a gefen (vine) out of Mitzrayim; Thou hast drove out Goyim, and planted it.
9 Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the eretz.
10 The harim were covered with the tzel (shadow) of it, and the branches thereof were like the mighty cedars.
11 It sent out its branches unto the yam (sea),#80:11 i.e., Mediterranean Sea and its shoots unto the Nahar (river).#80:11 i.e., the Euphrates
12 Lammah (why) hast Thou then broken down her walls, so that all they which pass by the derech do pluck her?
13 The chazir (wild boar) out of the forest doth lay it waste, and the beasts of the sadeh doth devour it.
14 Shuv nah (return now), we beseech Thee, O Elohim Tzva'os; look down from Shomayim, and behold, and visit gefen zot (this vine);
15 And the stock which Thy Yamin (Right Hand) hath planted, and the Ben that Thou madest strong for Thyself.
16 It is burned with eish, it is cut down; they perish at the ge'arah (rebuke) of Thy countenance.
17 Let Thy Yad be upon the Ish Yeminecha (the Man of your Right Hand), upon the Ben Adam whom Thou madest strong for Thyself.#80:17 cf Ps 110:1; Dan 7:13
18 So will we never turn back from Thee; revive us, and we will call upon Thy Shem.
19 Turn us again, Hashem Elohim Tzva'os; cause Thy face to shine that we may be saved.
