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
To the Heavenly Worship Leader set to “Lilies,” A Psalm (sacred song about or to God) of Asaph [Gatherer].
1Give ear, O Shepherd of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel of God], youi that leads Yosef [(God) He Shall Add] like a flock; youi that dwell [between] the k’ruvim (Cherubim), shine forth.
2Before Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] and Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength] and M’nasheh [Causing to Forget] stir up youri strength, and come [and] save us.
3Turn us again, O God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and cause youri face to shine; and we shall be saved.
4O Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], how long will youi be angry against the prayer of youri people?
5youi feed them with the bread of tears; and give them tears to drink in great measure.
6youi make us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.
7Turn us again, O God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], and cause youri face to shine; and we shall be saved.
8youi have brought a vine out of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place]: youi have cast out the heathen, and planted it.
9youi prepared [room] before it, and did cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.
10The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof [were like] the goodly cedars.
11She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.
12Why have youi [then] broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?
13The boar out of the wood does waste it, and the wild beast of the field does devour it.
14Return, we beseech (to call upon; appeal; beg) youi, O God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies]: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
15And the vineyard which youri right hand has planted, and the branch [that] youi made strong for yourself.
16 [It is] burned with fire, [it is] cut down: they perish at the rebuke (reprimand; strongly warn; restrain) of youri Countenance (Face, appearance; show favor).
17Let youri hand be upon the man of youri right hand, upon the son of man [whom] youi made strong for yourself.
18So will not we go back from youi: quicken us, and we will call upon youri name.
19Turn us again, O Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], cause youri face to shine; and we shall be saved.
