Psalms 80
80
For the choir director: A psalm of Asaph, to be sung to the tune “Lilies of the Covenant.”
1Please listen, O Shepherd of Israel,
you who lead Joseph’s descendants like a flock.
O God, enthroned above the cherubim,
display your radiant glory
2to Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh.
Show us your mighty power.
Come to rescue us!
3Turn us again to yourself, O God.
Make your face shine down upon us.
Only then will we be saved.
4O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies,
how long will you be angry with our prayers?
5You have fed us with sorrow
and made us drink tears by the bucketful.
6You have made us the scorn#80:6 As in Syriac version; Hebrew reads the strife. of neighboring nations.
Our enemies treat us as a joke.
7Turn us again to yourself, O God of Heaven’s Armies.
Make your face shine down upon us.
Only then will we be saved.
8You brought us from Egypt like a grapevine;
you drove away the pagan nations and transplanted us into your land.
9You cleared the ground for us,
and we took root and filled the land.
10Our shade covered the mountains;
our branches covered the mighty cedars.
11We spread our branches west to the Mediterranean Sea;
our shoots spread east to the Euphrates River.#80:11 Hebrew west to the sea, . . . east to the river.
12But now, why have you broken down our walls
so that all who pass by may steal our fruit?
13The wild boar from the forest devours it,
and the wild animals feed on it.
14Come back, we beg you, O God of Heaven’s Armies.
Look down from heaven and see our plight.
Take care of this grapevine
15that you yourself have planted,
this son you have raised for yourself.
16For we are chopped up and burned by our enemies.
May they perish at the sight of your frown.
17Strengthen the man you love,
the son of your choice.
18Then we will never abandon you again.
Revive us so we can call on your name once more.
19Turn us again to yourself, O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies.
Make your face shine down upon us.
Only then will we be saved.

Psalm 80
To the Overcomer upon Shoshannim, {lilies} A testimony of Asaph: A Psalm.
1¶ Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubim, shine forth.
2In the presence of 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 the hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
5Thou dost feed them with the bread of tears and give them tears to drink in great measure.
6Thou dost make us a strife unto our neighbours, and our enemies laugh at us among themselves.
7Turn us again, O God of the hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
8¶ Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt; thou hast cast out the Gentiles and planted it.
9Thou didst prepare room before it and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the earth.
10The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and its boughs were like the cedars of God.
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 those who pass by the way pluck her?
13The boar out of the wood wastes it, and the wild beast of the field devours it.
14Return, we beseech thee, O God of the hosts: look down from heaven and behold and visit this vine
15and the vineyard which thy right hand has planted and the branch that thou didst make 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 didst make strong for thyself,
18so we will not go back from thee. Thou shalt quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.
19Turn us again, O Lord God of the hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
