The Book of Psalms 80

Text size

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

16 It is burned with fire it is cut down they perish 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 ⚑

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

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