Psalms 80

PSALM 80
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
To the chief musician upon Shoshannim, Eduth,
A Psalm of Asaph.
1Hear, Isr'el's Shepherd! like a flock
thou that dost Joseph guide;
Shine forth, O thou that dost between
the cherubims abide.
2In Ephraim's, and Benjamin's
and in Manasseh's sight,
O come for our salvation;
stir up thy strength and might.
3Turn us again, O Lord our God,
and upon us vouchsafe
To make thy countenance to shine,
and so we shall be safe.
4O Lord of hosts, almighty God,
how long shall kindled be
Thy wrath against the prayer made
by thine own folk to thee?
5Thou tears of sorrow giv'st to them
instead of bread to eat;
Yea, tears instead of drink thou giv'st
to them in measure great.
6Thou makest us a strife unto
our neighbours round about;
Our enemies among themselves
at us do laugh and flout.
7Turn us again, O God of hosts,
and upon us vouchsafe
To make thy countenance to shine,
and so we shall be safe.
8A vine from Egypt brought thou hast,
by thine outstretched hand;
And thou the heathen out didst cast,
to plant it in their land.
9Before it thou a room didst make,
where it might grow and stand;
Thou causedst it deep root to take,
and it did fill the land.
10The mountains vail'd were with its shade,
as with a covering;
Like goodly cedars were the boughs
which out from it did spring.
11Upon the one hand to the sea
her boughs she did out send;
On th' other side unto the flood
her branches did extend.
12Why hast thou then thus broken down,
and ta'en her hedge away?
So that all passengers do pluck,
and make of her a prey.
13The boar who from the forest comes
doth waste it at his pleasure;
The wild beast of the field also
devours it out of measure.
14O God of hosts, we thee beseech,
return now unto thine;
Look down from heav'n in love, behold,
and visit this thy vine:
15This vineyard, which thine own right hand
hath planted us among;
And that same branch, which for thyself
thou hast made to be strong.
16Burnt up it is with flaming fire,
it also is cut down:
They utterly are perished,
when as thy face doth frown.
17O let thy hand be still upon
the Man of thy right hand,
The Son of man, whom for thyself
thou madest strong to stand.
18So henceforth we will not go back,
nor turn from thee at all:
O do thou quicken us,
and we upon thy name will call.
19Turn us again,
Lord God of hosts,
and upon us vouchsafe
To make thy countenance to shine,
and so we shall be safe.

Tehillim (Psalms) 80
80
1Give ear, O Shepherd of Yisra’ĕl, Who leads Yosĕph like a flock; Who dwells between the keruḇim, shine forth!
2Before Ephrayim, Binyamin, and Menashsheh, Stir up Your might, And come and save us!
3Cause us to turn back, O Elohim, And cause Your face to shine, That we might be saved!
4O יהוה Elohim of hosts, How long shall You be wroth Against the prayer of Your people?
5You have caused them to eat the bread of tears, And have caused them to drink With tears, a third time.
6You have made us a strife to our neighbours, And our enemies laugh among themselves.
7Turn us back, O Elohim of hosts, And cause Your face to shine, That we might be saved!
8You brought a vine out of Mitsrayim; You drove out the nations, and planted it.
9You cleared a place for it, And caused it to take deep root, And it filled the land.
10Hills were covered with its shadow, And the mighty cedars with its twigs.
11She spread her branches to the Sea, And her shoots to the River.
12Why have You broken down her hedges, So that every passer-by plucked her fruit?
13The boar out of the forest ravages it, And the wild beast of the field devours it.
14Return, we beg You, O Elohim of hosts; Look down from heaven, and see, And visit this vine,
15And the stock which Your right hand has planted, And the Son whom You made strong for Yourself.
16It is burned with fire, it is cut down; They perish at the rebuke of Your face.
17Let Your hand be upon the One at Your right hand, Upon the Son of Aḏam whom You made strong for Yourself,
18And we shall not backslide from You. Revive us, and let us call upon Your Name.
19Turn us back, O יהוה Elohim of hosts, And cause Your face to shine, That we might be saved!
