80:1 For the Chief Musician; set to Shoshannim Eduth. A Psalm of Asaph. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that sittest upon the cherubim, shine forth.
80:2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up thy might, and come to save us.
80:3 Turn us again, O God; and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
80:4 O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
80:5 Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in large measure.
80:6 Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.
80:7 Turn us again, O God of hosts; and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
80:8 Thou broughtest a vine out of Egypt: thou didst drive out the nations, and plantedst it.
80:9 Thou preparedst room before it, and it took deep root, and filled the land.
80:10 The mountains were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like cedars of God.
80:11 She sent out her branches unto the sea, and her shoots unto the River.
80:12 Why hast thou broken down her fences, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?
80:13 The boar out of the wood doth ravage it, and the wild beasts of the field feed on it.
80:14 Turn again, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine,
80:15 And the stock which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.
80:16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
80:17 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.
80:18 So shall we not go back from thee: quicken thou us, and we will call upon thy name,
80:19 Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts; cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved;
