Psalms 80

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Unto the end. For the wine and oil presses. A Psalm of Asaph himself.	1 For the leader; according to "Lilies." Eduth. A psalm of Asaph.
2 Exult before God our helper. Sing joyfully to the God of Jacob.	2 Shepherd of Israel, listen, guide of the flock of Joseph! From your throne upon the cherubim reveal yourself
3 Take up a psalm, and bring forth the timbrel: a pleasing Psalter with stringed instruments.	3 to Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Stir up your power, come to save us.
4 Sound the trumpet at the new moon, on the noteworthy day of your solemnity,	4 O LORD of hosts, restore us; Let your face shine upon us, that we may be saved.
5 for it is a precept in Israel and a judgment for the God of Jacob.	5 LORD of hosts, how long will you burn with anger while your people pray?
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 You have fed them the bread of tears, made them drink tears in abundance.
7 He turned the burdens away from his back. His hands had been a slave to baskets.	7 You have left us to be fought over by our neighbors; our enemies deride us.
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 O LORD of hosts, restore us; let your face shine upon us, that we may be saved.
9 My people, listen and I will call you to testify. If, O Israel, you will pay heed to me,	9 You brought a vine out of Egypt; you drove away the nations and planted it.
10 then there will be no new god among you, nor will you adore a foreign god.	10 You cleared the ground; it took root and filled the land.
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 The mountains were covered by its shadow, the cedars of God by its branches.
12 But my people did not hear my voice, and Israel was not attentive to me.	12 It sent out boughs as far as the sea, shoots as far as the river.
13 And so, I sent them away, according to the desires of their heart. They will go forth according to their own inventions.	13 Why have you broken down the walls, so that all who pass by pluck its fruit?
14 If my people had heard me, if Israel had walked in my ways,	14 The boar from the forest strips the vine; the beast of the field feeds upon it.
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 Turn again, LORD of hosts; look down from heaven and see; Attend to this vine,
16 The enemies of the Lord have lied to him, and their time will come, in every age.	16 the shoot your right hand has planted.
17 And he fed them from the fat of the grain, and he saturated them with honey from the rock.	17 Those who would burn or cut it down-- may they perish at your rebuke.
	18 May your help be with the man at your right hand, with the one whom you once made strong.
	19 Then we will not withdraw from you; revive us, and we will call on your name.
	20 LORD of hosts, restore us; let your face shine upon us, that we may be saved.
