# Psalms 80 [[Psalms 79|←]] • [[Psalms 81|→]] --- To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim-Eduth, A Psalm of Asaph. ### 1 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest the cherubims, shine forth. ### 2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come 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 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 the goodly cedars. ### 11 She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river. ### 12 Why hast thou 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 thou madest strong for thyself. ### 16 burned with fire, 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 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.
