Psalm
80

To the chief Musician upon
Shoshannim-Eduth, A Psalm of Asaph.

1
Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou
that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.

2
Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and
save us.

3
Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

4
O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy
people?

5
Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in
great measure.

6
Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among
themselves.

7
Turn us again, O God of 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 heathen, and
planted it.

9
Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it
filled the land.

10
The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like
the goodly cedars.

11
She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.

12
Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the
way do pluck her?

13
The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth
devour it.

14
Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and
visit this vine;

15
And 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.

17
Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou
madest strong for thyself.

18
So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.

19
Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be
saved.
