Psalms 80

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 For the leader; according to "Lilies." Eduth. A psalm of Asaph.	1 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.
2 Shepherd of Israel, listen, guide of the flock of Joseph! From your throne upon the cherubim reveal yourself	2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us.
3 to Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Stir up your power, come to save us.	3 Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
4 O LORD of hosts, restore us; Let your face shine upon us, that we may be saved.	4 O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
5 LORD of hosts, how long will you burn with anger while your people pray?	5 Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.
6 You have fed them the bread of tears, made them drink tears in abundance.	6 Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.
7 You have left us to be fought over by our neighbors; our enemies deride us.	7 Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
8 O LORD of hosts, restore us; let your face shine upon us, that we may be saved.	8 Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
9 You brought a vine out of Egypt; you drove away the nations and planted it.	9 Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.
10 You cleared the ground; it took root and filled the land.	10 The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.
11 The mountains were covered by its shadow, the cedars of God by its branches.	11 She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.
12 It sent out boughs as far as the sea, shoots as far as the river.	12 Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?
13 Why have you broken down the walls, so that all who pass by pluck its fruit?	13 The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.
14 The boar from the forest strips the vine; the beast of the field feeds upon it.	14 Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
15 Turn again, LORD of hosts; look down from heaven and see; Attend to this vine,	15 And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.
16 the shoot your right hand has planted.	16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
17 Those who would burn or cut it down-- may they perish at your rebuke.	17 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.
18 May your help be with the man at your right hand, with the one whom you once made strong.	18 So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.
19 Then we will not withdraw from you; revive us, and we will call on your name.	19 Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
20 LORD of hosts, restore us; let your face shine upon us, that we may be saved.
