Psalm 80

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 <To the chief music-maker; put to Shoshannim-eduth. Of Asaph. A Psalm.> Give ear, O Keeper of Israel, guiding Joseph like a flock; you who have your seat on the winged ones, let your glory be seen.

2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, let your strength be awake from sleep, and come as our salvation.

3 Take us back again, O God; let us see the shining of your face, and let us be safe.

4 O Lord God of armies, how long will your wrath be burning against the rest of your people?

5 You have given them the bread of weeping for food; for their drink you have given them sorrow in great measure.

6 You make us a cause of war among our neighbours; our haters are laughing at us among themselves.

7 Take us back again, O God of armies; let us see the shining of your face, and let us be safe.

8 You took a vine out of Egypt: driving out the nations, and planting it in their land.

9 You made ready a place for it, so that it might take deep root, and it sent out its branches over all the land.

10 The mountains were covered with its shade, and the great trees with its branches.

11 It sent out its arms to the Sea, and its branches to the River.

12 Why are its walls broken down by your hands, so that all who go by may take its fruit?

13 It is uprooted by the pigs from the woods, the beasts of the field get their food from it.

14 Come back, O God of armies: from heaven let your eyes be turned to this vine, and give your mind to it,

15 Even to the tree which was planted by your right hand, and to the branch which you made strong for yourself.

16 It is burned with fire; it is cut down: they are made waste by the wrath of your face.

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 will we not be turned back from you; keep us in life, and we will give praise to your name.

19 Take us back, O Lord God of armies; let us see the shining of your face, and let us be safe.

2 reveal yourself to the tribes of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Show us your strength; come and save us!

3 Bring us back, O God! Show us your mercy, and we will be saved!

8 You brought a grapevine out of Egypt; you drove out other nations and planted it in their land.

9 You cleared a place for it to grow; its roots went deep, and it spread out over the whole land.

10 It covered the hills with its shade; its branches overshadowed the giant cedars.

11 It extended its branches to the Mediterranean Sea and as far as the Euphrates River.

12 Why did you break down the fences around it? Now anyone passing by can steal its grapes;

13 wild hogs trample it down, and wild animals feed on it.

14 Turn to us, Almighty God! Look down from heaven at us; come and save your people!

15 Come and save this grapevine that you planted, this young vine you made grow so strong!

16 Our enemies have set it on fire and cut it down; look at them in anger and destroy them!

17 Preserve and protect the people you have chosen, the nation you made so strong.

18 We will never turn away from you again; keep us alive, and we will praise you.

19 Bring us back, Lord God Almighty. Show us your mercy, and we will be saved.
