Psalms Chapter 80

1aTo the choirmaster in Shoshannim-Eduth.↑

A Psalm of Asaph.

1bDo listen, O shepherd of Israel,

You who lead Joseph like sheep,

And shine forth,

You who dwell between the cherubim,

2Do rouse your valour before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh,

And come to our salvation.

3O God, restore us,

And let your face shine,

And let us be saved.

4O Lord God of hosts,

How long will you be fuming

At the prayer of your people?

5You have fed them with bread of tears;

You have given them a third measure of tears to drink.

6You make us an object of contention with our neighbours,

And our enemies poke fun.

7O God of hosts, restore us,

And let your face shine,

And let us be saved.

8You removed a vine from Egypt;

You drove out Gentiles and planted it.

9You made preparations for it,

And it took root,

And it filled the land.

10The mountains were covered by its shade,

And the mighty cedars by its boughs.

11It sent its branches as far as the sea,

And its suckers to the river.

12Why have you broken down its fences,

So that everyone passing through that way plucks it?

13The boar from the forest devours it,

And the wildlife of the countryside feeds on it.

14O God of hosts, do return;

Oh look from heaven and see,

And visit this vine,

15And the stock which your right hand planted,

And the offshoot which you invigorated for yourself.

16It has been burned with fire;

It has been cut off.

They will be annihilated at the rebuke of your face.

17May your hand be on the man of your right hand

– On the son of Adam whom you invigorated for yourself –

18Then we will not slide back from you.

Revitalize us, and we will call on your name.

19O Lord God of hosts,

Restore us,

And let your face shine,

And let us be saved.
