Psalm 80

1 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.

1 Listen to us, O Shepherd of Israel; hear us, leader of your flock. Seated on your throne above the winged creatures,

2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us.

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

3 Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

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

4 O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?

4 How much longer, Lord God Almighty, will you be angry with your people's prayers?

5 Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.

5 You have given us sorrow to eat, a large cup of tears to drink.

6 Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.

6 You let the surrounding nations fight over our land; our enemies insult us.

7 Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

7 Bring us back, Almighty God! Show us your mercy, and we will be saved!

8 Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.

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

9 Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.

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

10 The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.

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

11 She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.

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

12 Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?

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

13 The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.

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

14 Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;

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

15 And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.

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

16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.

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

17 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.

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

18 So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.

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

19 Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

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