Psalm 80

Revised Version 1895

For the Chief Musician; set to Shoshannim Eduth. A Psalm of Asaph.

1Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest JosephH413 like a flock; thou that sittest uponH413 the cherubim, shine forth.

2Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir upH3427 thy might, and come to save usH7462.

3Turn usH6440 againH6440, O God; and cause thy faceH6440 to shine, and we shall be saved.

4O LORD GodH430 of hosts, how longH6440 wilt thou be angry againstH6440 the prayer of thy people?

5Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in large measure.

6Thou makest usH8248 a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.

7TurnH7760 usH7760 again, O God of hosts; and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

8Thou broughtest a vine outH6440 of Egypt: thou didst drive outH6440 the nations, and plantedst it.

9Thou preparedst room before it, and it took deep root, and filled the land.

10The mountains were coveredH4390 with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like cedars of God.

11She sent out herH3680 branchesH6057 unto the sea, and herH3680 shoots unto the River.

12Why hast thou broken downH7971 herH413 fences, soH7971 that allH5704 they which pass by the wayH7971 do pluck herH413?

13The boar outH4100 of the wood doth ravage it, and the wild beasts of the field feed on it.

14Turn again, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine,

15And the stock whichH6635 thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.

16It is burned with fire, it is cut downH5921: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.

17Let thy hand be uponH784 the manH784 of thy right hand, uponH784 the son of manH784 whom thou madest strong for thyself.

18SoH1961 shall we notH1961 goH1961 back from thee: quicken thou usH5921, and we will call uponH5921 thy name,

19TurnH5472 usH7121 again, O LORD GodH3808 of hosts; causeH7121 thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
