(KJV) Psalm 80¹

⥃Hear Us, O Shepherd of Israel

To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim–Eduth, A Psalm² of Asaph³.

[1] Give ear⁴, O Shepherd⁵ of Israel, thou that leadest⁶ Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest⁷ [between] the cherubims, shine⁸ forth. [2] Before⁹ Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up¹⁰ thy strength, and come [and] save us¹¹. [3] Turn us¹² again, O God, and cause¹³ thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. [4] O Lord God of hosts, how long¹⁴ wilt thou be angry¹⁵ against the prayer of thy people? [5] Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.¹⁶ [6] Thou¹⁷ makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies¹⁸ laugh among themselves. [7] Turn¹⁹ us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall²⁰ be saved. [8] Thou hast brought a vine²¹ out of Egypt: thou hast cast²² out the heathen, and planted it. [9] Thou preparedst²³ [room] before it, and didst cause it to take²⁴ deep root, and it²⁵ filled the land. [10] The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof [were like] the goodly cedars²⁶. [11] She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.²⁷ [12] Why hast thou [then] broken²⁸ down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her? [13] The boar²⁹ out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it. [14] Return³⁰, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down³¹ from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine; [15] And the vineyard³² which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch³³ [that] thou madest strong for thyself. [16] [It is] burned³⁴ with fire, [it is] cut down: they perish³⁵ at the rebuke of thy countenance. [17] Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man [whom] thou madest strong for thyself.³⁶ [18] So will³⁷ not we go back from thee: quicken³⁸ us, and we will call upon thy name. [19] Turn us³⁹ again, O Lord God of hosts, cause⁴⁰ thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
