Psalms 80

PSALM 80.
1Unto the end, for the winepresses, a psalm for Asaph himself.
2Rejoice to God our helper: sing aloud to the God of Jacob.
3Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel: the pleasant psaltery with the harp.
4Blow up the trumpet on the new moon, on the noted day of your solemnity.
5For it is a commandment in Israel, and a judgment to the God of Jacob.
6He ordained it for a testimony in Joseph, when he came out of the land of Egypt: he heard a tongue which he knew not.
7He removed his back from the burdens: his hands had served in baskets.
8Thou calledst upon me in affliction, and I delivered thee: I heard thee in the secret place of tempest: I proved thee at the waters of contradiction.
9Hear, O my people, and I will testify to thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken to me,
10there shall be no new god in thee: neither shalt thou adore a strange god.
11For I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
12But my people heard not my voice: and Israel hearkened not to me.
13So I let them go according to the desires of their heart: they shall walk in their own inventions.
14If my people had heard me: if Israel had walked in my ways:
15I should soon have humbled their enemies, and laid my hand on them that troubled them.
16The enemies of the Lord have lied to him: and their time shall be for ever.
17And he fed them with the fat of wheat, and filled them with honey out of the rock.

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.
