Psalms Chapter 80
|
|||
|
|
1 For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “The Lilies of the Covenant.” A Psalm by Asaph. Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock, you who sit above the cherubim, shine out.
|
|||
|
|
2 Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, stir up your might! Come to save us!
|
|||
|
|
3 Turn us again, God. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.
|
|||
|
|
4 Yahweh God of Armies, how long will you be angry against the prayer of your people?
|
|||
|
|
5 You have fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in large measure.
|
|||
|
|
6 You make us a source of contention to our neighbors. Our enemies laugh among themselves.
|
|||
|
|
7 Turn us again, God of Armies. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.
|
|||
|
|
8 You brought a vine out of Egypt. You drove out the nations, and planted it.
|
|||
|
|
9 You cleared the ground for it. It took deep root, and filled the land.
|
|||
|
|
10 The mountains were covered with its shadow. Its boughs were like God’s cedars.
|
|||
|
|
11 It sent out its branches to the sea, its shoots to the River.
|
|||
|
|
12 Why have you broken down its walls, so that all those who pass by the way pluck it?
|
|||
|
|
13 The boar out of the wood ravages it. The wild animals of the field feed on it.
|
|||
|
|
14 Turn again, we beg you, God of Armies. Look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vine,
|
|||
|
|
15 the stock which your right hand planted, the branch that you made strong for yourself.
|
|||
|
|
16 It’s burned with fire. It’s cut down. They perish at your rebuke.
|
|||
|
|
17 Let your hand be on the man of your right hand, on the son of man whom you made strong for yourself.
|
|||
|
|
18 So we will not turn away from you. Revive us, and we will call on your name.
|
|||
|
|
19 Turn us again, Yahweh God of Armies. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.
