Psalm 80 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

God implored to rescue his People from their Calamities.

Psa 80:1
For the Chief Musician, set to Shoshanim Eduth. A Psalm of Asaph.
Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel,
Thou that leadest Joseph like a flock;
Thou that sittest above the cherubim, shine forth.
Psa 80:2
Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up thy might,
And come to save us.
Psa 80:3
Turn us again, O God;
And cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
Psa 80:4
O Jehovah God of hosts,
How long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
Psa 80:5
Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears,
And given them tears to drink in large measure.
Psa 80:6
Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbors;
And our enemies laugh among themselves.
Psa 80:7
Turn us again, O God of hosts;
And cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
Psa 80:8
Thou broughtest a vine out of Egypt:
Thou didst drive out the nations, and plantedst it.
Psa 80:9
Thou preparedst room before it,
And it took deep root, and filled the land.
Psa 80:10
The mountains were covered with the shadow of it,
And the boughs thereof were like cedars of God.
Psa 80:11
It sent out its branches unto the sea,
And its shoots unto the River.
Psa 80:12
Why hast thou broken down its walls,
So that all they that pass by the way do pluck it?
Psa 80:13
The boar out of the wood doth ravage it,
And the wild beasts of the field feed on it.
Psa 80:14
Turn again, we beseech thee, O God of hosts:
Look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine,
Psa 80:15
And the stock which thy right hand planted,
And the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.
Psa 80:16
It is burned with fire, it is cut down:
They perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
Psa 80:17
Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand,
Upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.
Psa 80:18
So shall we not go back from thee:
Quicken thou us, and we will call upon thy name.
Psa 80:19
Turn us again, O Jehovah God of hosts;
Cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
