Psalms - Chapter 80 | American Standard Version

  • 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 {cf15i above} the cherubim, shine forth.
  • 2. Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up thy might, And come to save us.
  • 3. Turn us again, O God; And cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
  • 4. O Jehovah God of hosts, How long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
  • 5. Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears, And given them tears to drink in large measure.
  • 6. Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbors; 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 broughtest a vine out of Egypt: Thou didst drive out the nations, and plantedst it.
  • 9. Thou preparedst {cf15i room} before it, And it took deep root, and filled the land.
  • 10. The mountains were covered with the shadow of it, And the boughs thereof were {cf15i like} cedars of God.
  • 11. It sent out its branches unto the sea, And its shoots unto the River.
  • 12. Why hast thou broken down its walls, So that all they that pass by the way do pluck it?
  • 13. The boar out of the wood doth ravage it, And the wild beasts of the field feed on it.
  • 14. Turn again, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: Look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine,
  • 15. And the stock which thy right hand 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 shall we not go back from thee: Quicken thou us, and we will call upon thy name.
  • 19. Turn us again, O Jehovah God of hosts; Cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
