←Prev   Psalms 80 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


80:1  For the music director, according to The Lilies. A testimony. Of Asaph. A psalm. Give ear, O shepherd of Israel, who leads Joseph like a flock. Shine forth, you who sits enthroned above the cherubim.
80:2  Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, stir up your power and come for our salvation.
80:3  O God, restore us, and cause your face to shine that we may be saved.
80:4  O Yahweh God of hosts, how long will you be angry against the prayer of your people?
80:5  You have fed them the bread of tears; you have given them tears to drink in full measure.
80:6  You have made us an object of strife to our neighbors, and our enemies mock among themselves.
80:7  O God of hosts, restore us and cause your face to shine that we may be saved.
80:8  You uprooted a vine from Egypt; you drove out the nations and planted it.
80:9  You prepared a place before it, and it took deep root and filled the land.
80:10  The mountains were covered with its shade, and the mighty cedars with its boughs.
80:11  It spread its branches to the sea and its shoots to the river.
80:12  Why have you broken down its walls, so that all who pass on the road pluck fruit from it?
80:13  Swine from the forests devour it and creatures of the field feed on it.
80:14  Please return, O God of hosts. Observe from heaven and see, and pay attention to this vine,
80:15  eventhe stalk that your right hand planted, and concerning the shoot you strengthened for yourself.
80:16  It is burned with fire, cut down. They perish at the rebuke of your face.
80:17  Let your hand be on the man of your right hand, on the son of humankind whom you made strong for yourself.
80:18  Then we will not turn back from you. Restore us to life, and we will proclaim your name.
80:19  O Yahweh God of hosts, restore us; cause your face to shine that we may be saved.
