PS-80:1 To the chief Musician upon Shoshannimeduth, A Psalm of

Asaph. Give

ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock;

 thou that

dwellest [between] the cherubims, shine forth.

PS-80:2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy

strength, and

come [and] save us.

PS-80:3 Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and

we shall be

saved.

PS-80:4 O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against

the prayer of

thy people?

PS-80:5 Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest

them tears to

drink in great measure.

PS-80:6 Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our

enemies laugh

among themselves.

PS-80:7 Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to

shine; and we

shall be saved.

PS-80:8 Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast

out the heathen,

and planted it.

PS-80:9 Thou preparedst [room] before it, and didst cause it to

take deep

root, and it filled the land.

PS-80:10 The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the

boughs thereof

[were like] the goodly cedars.

PS-80:11 She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches

unto the

river.

PS-80:12 Why hast thou [then] broken down her hedges, so that

all they which

pass by the way do pluck her?

PS-80:13 The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild

beast of the

field doth devour it.

PS-80:14 Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from

heaven, and

behold, and visit this vine;

PS-80:15 And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and

the branch

[that] thou madest strong for thyself.

PS-80:16 [It is] burned with fire, [it is] cut down: they perish

at the rebuke

of thy countenance.

PS-80:17 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon

the son of man

[whom] thou madest strong for thyself.

PS-80:18 So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we

will call upon

thy name.

PS-80:19 Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to

shine; and we

shall be saved.
