Psalms 80

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Unto the end. For the wine and oil presses. A Psalm of Asaph himself.	1 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.
2 Exult before God our helper. Sing joyfully to the God of Jacob.	2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us.
3 Take up a psalm, and bring forth the timbrel: a pleasing Psalter with stringed instruments.	3 Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
4 Sound the trumpet at the new moon, on the noteworthy day of your solemnity,	4 O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
5 for it is a precept in Israel and a judgment for the God of Jacob.	5 Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.
6 He set it as a testimony with Joseph, when he went out of the land of Egypt. He heard a tongue that he did not know.	6 Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.
7 He turned the burdens away from his back. His hands had been a slave to baskets.	7 Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
8 You called upon me in tribulation, and I freed you. I heard you within the hidden tempest. I tested you with waters of contradiction.	8 Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
9 My people, listen and I will call you to testify. If, O Israel, you will pay heed to me,	9 Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.
10 then there will be no new god among you, nor will you adore a foreign god.	10 The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.
11 For I am the Lord your God, who led you out of the land of Egypt. Widen your mouth, and I will fill it.	11 She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.
12 But my people did not hear my voice, and Israel was not attentive to me.	12 Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?
13 And so, I sent them away, according to the desires of their heart. They will go forth according to their own inventions.	13 The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.
14 If my people had heard me, if Israel had walked in my ways,	14 Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
15 I would have humbled their enemies, as if it were nothing, and I would have sent my hand upon those who troubled them.	15 And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.
16 The enemies of the Lord have lied to him, and their time will come, in every age.	16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
17 And he fed them from the fat of the grain, and he saturated them with honey from the rock.	17 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.
	18 So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.
	19 Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
