Psalm 80 :: Brenton's English Septuagint (BES)

Psa 80:1(LXX 79:1) For the [fn]end, for alternate strains, a testimony for Asaph, a Psalm concerning the Assyrian. (79:2) Attend, O Shepherd of Israel, who guidest Joseph like a flock; thou who sittest upon the cherubs, manifest thyself;
Psa 80:2(LXX 79:3) before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasse, stir up thy power, and come to deliver us.
Psa 80:3(LXX 79:4) Turn us, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be delivered.
Psa 80:4(LXX 79:5) O Lord God of hosts, how long art thou angry with the prayer of thy servant?
Psa 80:5(LXX 79:6) Thou wilt feed us with bread of tears; and wilt cause us to drink tears by measure.
Psa 80:6(LXX 79:7) Thou hast made us a strife to our neighbours; and our enemies have mocked at us.
Psa 80:7(LXX 79:8) Turn us, O Lord God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. Pause.
Psa 80:8(LXX 79:9) Thou hast transplanted a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
Psa 80:9(LXX 79:10) Thou madest a way before it, and didst cause its roots to strike, and the land was filled with it.
Psa 80:10(LXX 79:11) Its shadow covered the mountains, and its shoots equalled the [fn]goodly cedars.
Psa 80:11(LXX 79:12) It sent forth its branches to the sea, and its shoots to the river.
Psa 80:12(LXX 79:13) Wherefore hast thou broken down its hedge, while all that pass by the way pluck it?
Psa 80:13(LXX 79:14) The boar out of the wood has laid it waste, and the wild beast has devoured it.
Psa 80:14(LXX 79:15) O God of hosts, turn, we pray thee: look on us from heaven, and behold and visit this vine;
Psa 80:15(LXX 79:16) and restore that which thy right hand has planted: and look on the son of man whom thou didst strengthen for thyself.
Psa 80:16(LXX 79:17) It is burnt with fire and dug up: they shall perish at the rebuke of thy [fn]presence.
Psa 80:17(LXX 79:18) Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, and upon the son of man whom thou didst strengthen for thyself.
Psa 80:18(LXX 79:19) So will we not depart from thee: thou shalt quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.
Psa 80:19(LXX 79:20) Turn us, O Lord God of hosts, and make thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
