Psalms 80 — KJVA

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

80Verse 1Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.^{+
Verse 2}Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us.^{+
Verse 3}Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
^{Verse 4}O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?^{+
Verse 5}Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.
^{Verse 6}Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.
^{Verse 7}Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.^{Verse 8}Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
^{Verse 9}Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.
^{Verse 10}The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.^{+
Verse 11}She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.
^{Verse 12}Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?
^{Verse 13}The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.
^{Verse 14}Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
^{Verse 15}And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.
^{Verse 16}It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
^{Verse 17}Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.
^{Verse 18}So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.
^{Verse 19}Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
