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.

PSALM 80
1 To victory; this psalm is the wit-nessing of Asaph for lilies. Thou that governest Israel, give attention; that leadest forth Joseph as a sheep. Thou that sittest on cherubim, be showed
2before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Stir thy power, and come thou, that thou make us safe.
3God of virtues, turn [or convert] thou us; and show thy face, and we shall be safe.
4Lord God of virtues, how long shalt thou be wroth on the prayer of thy servants?
5 How long shalt thou feed us with the bread of tears; and shalt give drink to us with tears in great measure?
6Thou hast set [or put] us into against-saying to our neighbours; and our enemies have scorned us.
7God of virtues, turn [or convert] thou us; and show thy face, and we shall be safe.
8Thou translatedest or brought over a vine from Egypt; thou castedest out heathen men, and plantedest it.
9Thou were leader of the way in the sight thereof; and thou plantedest the roots thereof, and it filled the land.
10The shadow thereof covered hills; and the branches thereof filled the cedars of God.
11It stretched forth his scions till to the sea, and the generations thereof till to the flood.
12Why hast thou destroyed the wall thereof; and all men that go forth by the way, gather away the grapes thereof?
13A boar of the wood destroyed it; and a singular wild beast devoured it.
14God of virtues, be thou turned again to us; behold from heaven, and see, and visit this vine.
15And make thou it perfect, which thy right hand planted; and behold thou on the son of man, which thou hast confirmed to thee.
16Things were burnt with fire, and undermined; they who did this shall perish for the blaming of thy cheer.
17Thine hand be made on the man of thy right hand; and on the son of man, whom thou hast confirmed to thee.
18And we departed not from thee; thou shalt quicken us, and we shall inwardly call thy name.
19Lord God of virtues, turn thou us; and show thy face, and we shall be safe.
