←Prev   Psalms 80 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


80:1  For the choir director. To “Lilies.” A Testimony. By Asaph. A psalm. O Shepherd of Israel, give ear, you who lead Joseph like a flock. You who are seated above the cherubim, shine forth.
80:2  Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up your might. Come with salvation for us.
80:3  God, restore us, and make your face shine, so we will be saved.
80:4  Lord God of Armies, how long will your anger smoke against the prayer of your people?
80:5  You make them eat bread with tears, and you make them drink tears by the quart.
80:6  You create strife between us and our neighbors, so our enemies join together in mocking us.
80:7  God of Armies, restore us, and make your face shine, so we will be saved.
80:8  You brought a vine out from Egypt. You drove out the nations, and you planted it.
80:9  You cleared a place for it, and it took root and filled the land.
80:10  The mountains were covered by its shade, the cedars of God with its branches.
80:11  It sent out its boughs to 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 fruit?
80:13  A wild boar from the forest tears it up, and the wild animals feed on it.
80:14  God of Armies, return now! Look down from heaven and see, and take care of this vine,
80:15  the shoot that your right hand has planted, the son that you made strong for yourself.
80:16  It is burned with fire like garbage. Because of the rebuke from your face they perish.
80:17  Let your hand rest on the man at your right hand, on the son of man whom you have made strong for yourself.
80:18  Then we will not turn away from you. Cause us to live, and we will call on your name.
80:19  Lord God of Armies, restore us, and make your face shine, so we will be saved.
