Psalms 80

God Implored to Rescue His People from Their Calamities.

For the choir director; set to ^{▼▼ Possibly, to the Lilies}El Shoshannim; ^{▼▼ Lit A testimony}Eduth. A Psalm of Asaph.

1 Oh, give ear, ^cShepherd of Israel,
You who lead ^dJoseph like a flock;
You who ^eare enthroned above the cherubim, shine forth!
2 Before ^fEphraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, ^gstir up Your power
And come to save us!
3 O God, ^hrestore us
And ⁱcause Your face to shine upon us, ^{▼▼ Or that we may}and we will be saved.

4 O ^kLord God of hosts,
^lHow long will You ^{▼▼ Lit smoke against}be angry with the prayer of Your people?
5 You have fed them with the ⁿbread of tears,
And You have made them to drink tears in ^{▼▼ Lit a third part of a}large measure.
6 You make us ^{▼▼ Lit a strife to}an object of contention ^qto our neighbors,
And our enemies laugh among themselves.
7 O God of hosts, restore us
And cause Your face to shine upon us, ^{▼▼ Or that we may}and we will be saved.

8 You removed a ^svine from Egypt;
You ^tdrove out the ^{▼▼ Or Gentiles}nations and ^vplanted it.
9 You ^wcleared the ground before it,
And it ^xtook deep root and filled the land.
10 The mountains were covered with its shadow,
And ^{▼▼ Or its boughs are like the cedars of God}the cedars of God with its ^zboughs.
11 It was sending out its branches ^aato the sea
And its shoots to the River.
12 Why have You ^abbroken down its ^{▼▼ Or walls, fences}hedges,
So that all who pass that way pick its fruit?
13 A boar from the forest ^adeats it away
And whatever moves in the field feeds on it.

14 O God of hosts, ^aeturn again now, we beseech You;
^afLook down from heaven and see, and take care of this vine,
15 Even the ^{▼▼ Or root
,} ^ahshoot which Your right hand has planted,
And on the ^{▼▼ Or figuratively: branch}son whom You have ^{▼▼ Or secured}strengthened for Yourself.
16 It is ^akburned with fire, it is cut down;
They perish at the ^alrebuke of Your countenance.
17 Let ^amYour hand be upon the man of Your right hand,
Upon the son of man whom You ^anmade strong for Yourself.
18 Then we shall not ^aoturn back from You;
^apRevive us, and we will call upon Your name.
19 O Lord God of hosts, ^aqrestore us;
Cause Your face to shine upon us, ^{▼▼ Or that we may}and we will be saved.
