Psalm 80
80
To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim-eduth, A Psalm of Asaph.
1Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock;
Thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.
2Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength,
And come and save us.
3Turn us again, O God,
And cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
4O LORD God of hosts,
How long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
5Thou feedest them with the bread of tears;
And givest them tears to drink in great measure.
6Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours:
And our enemies laugh among themselves.
7Turn us again, O God of hosts,
And cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
8Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt:
Thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
9Thou preparedst room before it,
And didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.
10The hills were covered with the shadow of it,
And the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.
11She sent out her boughs unto the sea,
And her branches unto the river.
12Why hast thou then broken down her hedges,
So that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?
13The boar out of the wood doth waste it,
And the wild beast of the field doth devour it.
14Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: Look down from heaven,
And behold, and visit this vine;
15And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted,
And the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.
16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down:
They perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
17Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand,
Upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.
18So will not we go back from thee:
Quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.
19Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts,
Cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

Psalm 80
For the choir director; according to shoshannim eduth; by Asaph; a psalm.
1Open your ears, O Shepherd of Israel,
the one who leads ⌞the descendants of⌟ Joseph like sheep,
the one who is enthroned over the angels.#80:1 Or “cherubim.”
2Appear in front of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh.
Wake up your power, and come to save us.
3O God, restore us and smile on us
so that we may be saved.
4O Lord God, commander of armies, how long will you smolder in anger
against the prayer of your people?
5You made them eat tears as food.
You often made them drink ⌞their own⌟ tears.
6You made us a source of conflict to our neighbors,
and our enemies made fun of us.
7O God, commander of armies, restore us and smile on us
so that we may be saved.
8You brought a vine from Egypt.
You forced out the nations and planted it.
9You cleared the ground for it
so that it took root and filled the land.
10Its shade covered the mountains.
Its branches covered the mighty cedars.
11It reached out with its branches to the Mediterranean Sea.
Its shoots reached the Euphrates River.
12Why did you break down the stone fences around this vine?
All who pass by are picking its fruit.
13Wild boars from the forest graze on it.
Wild animals devour it.
14O God, commander of armies, come back!
Look from heaven and see!
Come to help this vine.
15Take care of what your right hand planted,
the son you strengthened for yourself.
16The vine has been cut down and burned.
Let them be destroyed by the threatening look on your face.
17Let your power rest on the man you have chosen,
the son of man you strengthened for yourself.
18Then we will never turn away from you.
Give us life again, and we will call on you.
19O Lord God, commander of armies, restore us, and smile on us
so that we may be saved.
