←Prev   Psalms 80 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


80:1  For the director of music. To the tune of "The Lilies of the Covenant." Of Asaph. A psalm. Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock. You who sit enthroned between the cherubim, shine forth
80:2  before Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh. Awaken your might; come and save us.
80:3  Restore us, O God; make your face shine on us, that we may be saved.
80:4  How long, LORD God Almighty, will your anger smolder against the prayers of your people?
80:5  You have fed them with the bread of tears; you have made them drink tears by the bowlful.
80:6  You have made us an object of derision to our neighbors, and our enemies mock us.
80:7  Restore us, God Almighty; make your face shine on us, that we may be saved.
80:8  You transplanted a vine from Egypt; you drove out the nations and planted it.
80:9  You cleared the ground for it, and it took root and filled the land.
80:10  The mountains were covered with its shade, the mighty cedars with its branches.
80:11  Its branches reached as far as the Sea, its shoots as far as the River.
80:12  Why have you broken down its walls so that all who pass by pick its grapes?
80:13  Boars from the forest ravage it, and insects from the fields feed on it.
80:14  Return to us, God Almighty! Look down from heaven and see! Watch over this vine,
80:15  the root your right hand has planted, the son you have raised up for yourself.
80:16  Your vine is cut down, it is burned with fire; at your rebuke your people perish.
80:17  Let your hand rest on the man at your right hand, the son of man you have raised up for yourself.
80:18  Then we will not turn away from you; revive us, and we will call on your name.
80:19  Restore us, LORD God Almighty; make your face shine on us, that we may be saved.
