Jubilee2000 - Psalms - 80

80:1  <> Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest [between] the cherubim, shine forth.

80:2  In the presence of Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength and come [and] 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 the hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?

80:5  Thou dost feed them with the bread of tears and give them tears to drink in [great] measure.

80:6  Thou dost make us a strife unto our neighbours, and our enemies laugh [at us] among themselves.

80:7  Turn us again, O God of the hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

80:8  Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt; thou hast cast out the Gentiles and planted it.

80:9  Thou didst prepare [room] before it and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the earth.

80:10  The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and its boughs [were like] the cedars of God.

80:11  She sent out her boughs unto the sea and her branches unto the river.

80:12  Why hast thou [then] broken down her hedges, so that all those who pass by the way pluck her?

80:13  The boar out of the wood wastes it, and the wild beast of the field devours it.

80:14  Return, we beseech thee, O God of the hosts: look down from heaven and behold and visit this vine

80:15  and the vineyard which thy right hand has planted and the branch [that] thou didst make 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 didst make strong for thyself,

80:18  so we will not go back from thee. Thou shalt quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.

80:19  Turn us again, O LORD God of the hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.:
