Psalms - Chapter 80 | English Standard Version

  • 1. To the choirmaster: according to Lilies. A Testimony. Of Asaph, a Psalm. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock! You who are enthroned upon the cherubim, shine forth.
  • 2. Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up your might and come to save us!
  • 3. Restore us, O God; let your face shine, that we may be saved!
  • 4. O LORD God of hosts, how long will you be angry with your people's prayers?
  • 5. You have fed them with the bread of tears and given them tears to drink in full measure.
  • 6. You make us an object of contention for our neighbors, and our enemies laugh among themselves.
  • 7. Restore us, O God of hosts; let your face shine, that we may be saved!
  • 8. You brought a vine out of Egypt; you drove out the nations and planted it.
  • 9. You cleared the ground for it; it took deep root and filled the land.
  • 10. The mountains were covered with its shade, the mighty cedars with its branches.
  • 11. It sent out its branches to the sea and its shoots to the River.
  • 12. Why then have you broken down its walls, so that all who pass along the way pluck its fruit?
  • 13. The boar from the forest ravages it, and all that move in the field feed on it.
  • 14. Turn again, O God of hosts! Look down from heaven, and see; have regard for this vine,
  • 15. the stock that your right hand planted, and for the son whom you made strong for yourself.
  • 16. They have burned it with fire; they have cut it down; may they perish at the rebuke of your face!
  • 17. But let your hand be on the man of your right hand, the son of man whom you have made strong for yourself!
  • 18. Then we shall not turn back from you; give us life, and we will call upon your name!
  • 19. Restore us, O LORD God of hosts! let your face shine, that we may be saved!
