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.

Psalms 80
80
1 To the Overseer. — ‘On the Lilies.’ A testimony of Asaph. — A Psalm.
1Shepherd of Israel, give ear, Leading Joseph as a flock, Inhabiting the cherubs — shine forth,
2Before Ephraim, and Benjamin, and Manasseh, Wake up Thy might, and come for our salvation.
3O God, cause us to turn back, And cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved.
4 Jehovah, God of Hosts, till when? Thou hast burned against the prayer of Thy people.
5Thou hast caused them to eat bread of tears, And causest them to drink With tears a third time.
6Thou makest us a strife to our neighbours, And our enemies mock at it.
7God of Hosts, turn us back, And cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved.
8A vine out of Egypt Thou dost bring, Thou dost cast out nations, and plantest it.
9Thou hast looked before it, and dost root it, And it filleth the land,
10Covered have been hills [with] its shadow, And its boughs [are] cedars of God.
11It sendeth forth its branches unto the sea, And unto the river its sucklings.
12Why hast Thou broken down its hedges, And all passing by the way have plucked it?
13A boar out of the forest doth waste it, And a wild beast of the fields consumeth it.
14God of Hosts, turn back, we beseech Thee, Look from heaven, and see, and inspect this vine,
15And the root that Thy right hand planted, And the branch Thou madest strong for Thee,
16Burnt with fire — cut down, From the rebuke of Thy face they perish.
17Let Thy hand be on the man of Thy right hand, On the son of man Thou hast strengthened for Thyself.
18And we do not go back from Thee, Thou dost revive us, and in Thy name we call.
19O Jehovah, God of Hosts, turn us back, Cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved!
