Psalms 80

1For the end, for alternatestrains, a testimony for Asaph, a Psalm concerning the Assyrian. Attend, O Shepherd of Israel,who guide Joseph like a flock; you who sit upon the cherubs, manifest yourself;
2before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasse, stir up your power, and come to deliverus.
3Turn us, O God, and cause your face to shine; and we shall be delivered.
4O Lord God of hosts, how long are you angry with the prayer of your servant?
5You will feed us with bread of tears; and will cause us to drink tears by measure.
6You has made us a strife to our neighbors; and our enemies have mocked at us.
7Turn us, O Lord God of hosts, and cause your face to shine; and we shall be saved.Pause.
8You have transplanted a vine out of Egypt: you have cast out the heathen, and plantedit.
9You made a way before it, and did cause its roots to strike, and the land was filledwith it.
10Its shadow covered the mountains, and its shootsequalled the goodly cedars.
11It sent forth its branches to the sea, and its shoots to the river.
12Wherefore have you broken down its hedge, while all that pass by the way pluckit?
13The boar out of the wood has laid it waste, and the wild beast has devoured it.
14O God of hosts, turn, we pray you: look onus from heaven, and behold and visit this vine;
15and restore that which your right hand has planted: and look on the son of manwhom you did strengthen for yourself.
16It is burnt with fire and dug up: they shall perish at the rebuke of your presence.
17Let your hand be upon the man of your right hand, and upon the son of man whomyou did strengthen for yourself.
18So will we not depart from you: you shall quicken us, and we will call upon yourname.
19Turn us, O Lord God of hosts, and make your face to shine; and we shall be saved.
