For the end, for alternate [strains], a testimony for Asaph, a Psalm concerning the Assyrian.

80:1 Attend, O Shepherd of Israel, who guidest Joseph like a flock; thou who sittest upon the cherubs, manifest thyself;

80:2 before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasse, stir up thy power, and come to deliver us.

80:3 Turn us, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be delivered.

80:4 O Lord God of hosts, how long art thou angry with the prayer of thy servant?

80:5 Thou wilt feed us with bread of tears; and wilt cause us to drink tears by measure.

80:6 Thou has made us a strife to our neighbours; and our enemies have mocked at us.

80:7 Turn us, O Lord God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. Pause.

80:8 Thou hast transplanted a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.

80:9 Thou madest a way before it, and didst cause its roots to strike, and the land was filled [with it].

80:10 Its shadow covered the mountains, and its shoots [equaled] the goodly cedars.

80:11 It sent forth its branches to the sea, and its shoots to the river.

80:12 Wherefore hast thou broken down its hedge, while all that pass by the way pluck it?

80:13 The boar out of the wood has laid it waste, and the wild beast has devoured it.

80:14 O God of hosts, turn, we pray thee: look on [us] from heaven, and behold and visit this vine;

80:15 and restore that which thy right hand has planted: and look on the son of man whom thou didst strengthen for thyself.

80:16 [It is] burnt with fire and dug up: they shall perish at the rebuke of thy presence.

80:17 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, and upon the son of man whom thou didst strengthen for thyself.

80:18 So will we not depart from thee: thou shalt quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.

80:19 Turn us, O Lord God of hosts, and make thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim-Eduth, A Psalm of Asaph.

80:1 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.

80:2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us.

80:3 Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

80:4 O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?

80:5 Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.

80:6 Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.

80:7 Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

80:8 Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.

80:9 Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.

80:10 The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.

80:11 She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.

80:12 Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?

80:13 The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.

80:14 Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;

80:15 And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.

80:16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.

80:17 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.

80:18 So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.

80:19 Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
