Psalms 80

luther1545 kjv valera ls1910

¹Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, Thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; Thou that sittest above the cherubim, shine forth. ²Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up thy might, And come to save us. ³Turn us again, O God; And cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved. ⁴O Jehovah God of hosts, How long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people? ⁵Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears, And given them tears to drink in large measure. ⁶Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbors; And our enemies laugh among themselves. ⁷Turn us again, O God of hosts; And cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved. ⁸Thou broughtest a vine out of Egypt: Thou didst drive out the nations, and plantedst it. ⁹Thou preparedst room before it, And it took deep root, and filled the land. ¹⁰The mountains were covered with the shadow of it, And the boughs thereof were like cedars of God. ¹¹It sent out its branches unto the sea, And its shoots unto the River. ¹²Why hast thou broken down its walls, So that all they that pass by the way do pluck it? ¹³The boar out of the wood doth ravage it, And the wild beasts of the field feed on it. ¹⁴Turn again, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: Look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine, ¹⁵And the stock which thy right hand planted, And the branch that thou madest strong for thyself. ¹⁶It is burned with fire, it is cut down: They perish at the rebuke of thy countenance. ¹⁷Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, Upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself. ¹⁸So shall we not go back from thee: Quicken thou us, and we will call upon thy name. ¹⁹Turn us again, O Jehovah God of hosts; Cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
