Psalm 80

- To the chief Musician upon
Shoshannim-eduth, A Psalm of

Asaph.

Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel,
thou that leadest Joseph like a

flock; thou that dwellest between
the cherubims, shine forth.

Before Ephraim and Benjamin
and Manasseh stir up thy

strength, and come and save us.

Turn us again, O God, and cause thy
face to shine; and we shall be saved.

O Lord God of hosts, how long wilt thou
be angry against the prayer of thy people?

Thou feedest them with the
bread of tears; and givest them

tears to drink in great measure.

Thou makest us a strife
unto our neighbours: and our

enemies laugh among themselves.

Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause
thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

Thou hast brought a vine out
of Egypt: thou hast cast out

the heathen, and planted it.

Thou preparedst room before it,
and didst cause it to take deep

root, and it filled the land.

The hills were covered with the
shadow of it, and the boughs

thereof were like the goodly cedars.

She sent out her boughs unto the
sea, and her branches unto the river.

Why hast thou then broken down
her hedges, so that all they which

pass by the way do pluck her?

The boar out of the wood doth
waste it, and the wild beast

of the field doth devour it.

Return, we beseech thee, O God
of hosts: look down from heaven,

and behold, and visit this vine;

And the vineyard which thy right
hand hath planted, and the branch

that thou madest strong for thyself.

It is burned with fire, it is
cut down: they perish at the

rebuke of thy countenance.

Let thy hand be upon the man of
thy right hand, upon the son of man

whom thou madest strong for thyself.

So will not we go back from thee: quicken
us, and we will call upon thy name.

Turn us again, O Lord God of hosts, cause
thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
