MKJV - Psalms - 80

80:1  To the Chief Musician. A Testimony Concerning the Lilies. A Psalm of Asaph. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, You who lead Joseph like a flock; You dwelling between the cherubs, shine forth.

80:2  Stir up Your strength before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, and come, save us.

80:3  Turn us again, O God, and cause Your face to shine, and we shall be saved!

80:4  O LORD God of hosts, how long will You be angry against the prayer of Your people?

80:5  You feed them with the bread of tears; and give them tears to drink in great measure.

80:6  You make us a strife for our neighbors; and our enemies laugh among themselves.

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

80:8  You have brought a vine out of Egypt; You have cast out the nations and planted it.

80:9  You cleared before it, and caused it to take deep root; and it filled the land.

80:10  The hills were covered with its shadow, and its boughs were as the great cedars.

80:11  It sent out its boughs to the sea, and its branches to the river.

80:12  Why have You broken down its hedges, so that all those who pass by the way pluck it?

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

80:14  Return, we beg You, O God of hosts; look down from Heaven, and behold, and visit this vine,

80:15  and the vineyard which Your right hand has planted, and the Son that You make strong for Yourself.

80:16  It is burned with fire, and cut down; they perish at the rebuke of Your holy face.

80:17  Let Your hand be on the Man of Your right hand, on the Son of man whom You have made strong for Yourself.

80:18  So we will not go back from You; make us live, and we will call on Your name.

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