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.

Psalms 80
80
1To 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. 2Before Ephraim and Beniamin and Manasseh stirre vp thy strength, and come to helpe vs. 3Turne vs againe, O God, and cause thy face to shine that we may be saued. 4O Lord God of hostes, how long wilt thou be angrie against the prayer of thy people? 5Thou hast fedde them with the bread of teares, and giuen them teares to drinke with great measure. 6Thou hast made vs a strife vnto our neighbours, and our enemies laugh at vs among themselues. 7Turne vs againe, O God of hostes: cause thy face to shine, and we shalbe saued. 8Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it. 9Thou madest roume for it, and didest cause it to take roote, and it filled the land. 10The mountaines were couered with the shadowe of it, and the boughes thereof were like the goodly cedars. 11Shee stretched out her branches vnto the Sea, and her boughes vnto the Riuer. 12Why hast thou then broken downe her hedges, so that all they, which passe by the way, haue plucked her? 13The wilde bore out of the wood hath destroyed it, and the wilde beastes of the fielde haue eaten it vp. 14Returne we beseech thee, O God of hostes: looke downe from heauen and beholde and visite this vine, 15And the vineyard, that thy right hand hath planted, and the young vine, which thou madest strong for thy selfe. 16It is burnt with fire and cut downe: and they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance. 17Let thine hande be vpon the man of thy right hande, and vpon the sonne of man, whome thou madest strong for thine owne selfe. 18So will not we goe backe from thee: reuiue thou vs, and we shall call vpon thy Name. 19Turne vs againe, O Lord God of hostes: cause thy face to shine and we shalbe saued.
