Psalms - Chapter 80 | New King James Version

  • 1. To the Chief Musician. Set to 'The Lilies.' {cf2super [73]} A Testimony {cf2super [74]} of Asaph. A Psalm. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, You who lead Joseph like a flock; You who dwell between the cherubim, shine forth!
  • 2. Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, Stir up Your strength, And come and save us!
  • 3. Restore us, O God; Cause Your face to shine, And we shall be saved!
  • 4. O Lord God of hosts, How long will You be angry Against the prayer of Your people?
  • 5. You have fed them with the bread of tears, And given them tears to drink in great measure.
  • 6. You have made us a strife to our neighbors, And our enemies laugh among themselves.
  • 7. Restore us, O God of hosts; Cause Your face to shine, And we shall be saved!
  • 8. You have brought a vine out of Egypt; You have cast out the nations, and planted it.
  • 9. You prepared room for it, And caused it to take deep root, And it filled the land.
  • 10. The hills were covered with its shadow, And the mighty cedars with its boughs.
  • 11. She sent out her boughs to the Sea, {cf2super [75]} And her branches to the River. {cf2super [76]}
  • 12. Why have You broken down her hedges, So that all who pass by the way pluck her fruit?
  • 13. The boar out of the woods uproots it, And the wild beast of the field devours it.
  • 14. Return, we beseech You, O God of hosts; Look down from heaven and see, And visit this vine
  • 15. And the vineyard which Your right hand has planted, And the branch that You made strong for Yourself.
  • 16. It is burned with fire, it is cut down; They perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.
  • 17. Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand, Upon the son of man whom You made strong for Yourself.
  • 18. Then we will not turn back from You; Revive us, and we will call upon Your name.
  • 19. Restore us, O Lord God of hosts; Cause Your face to shine, And we shall be saved!
