Psalms 80

DouayRheims(i) 1 Unto the end, for them that shall be changed, a testimony for Asaph, a psalm. (80:2) Give ear, O thou that rulest Israel: thou that leadest Joseph like a sheep. Thou that sittest upon the cherubims, shine forth 2 (80:3) Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasses. Stir up thy might, and come to save us. 3 (80:4) Convert us, O God: and shew us thy face, and we shall be saved. 4 (80:5) O Lord God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy servant? 5 (80:6) How long wilt thou feed us with the bread of tears: and give us for our drink tears in measure? 6 (80:7) Thou hast made us to be a contradiction to our neighbours: and our enemies have scoffed at us. 7 (80:8) O God of hosts, convert us: and shew thy face, and we shall be saved. 8 (80:9) Thou hast brought a vineyard out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the Gentiles and planted it. 9 (80:10) Thou wast the guide of its journey in its sight: thou plantedst the roots thereof, and it filled the land. 10 (80:11) The shadow of it covered the hills: and the branches thereof the cedars of God. 11 (80:12) It stretched forth its branches unto the sea, and its boughs unto the river. 12 (80:13) Why hast thou broken down the hedge thereof, so that all they who pass by the way do pluck it? 13 (80:14) The boar out of the wood hath laid it waste: and a singular wild beast hath devoured it. 14 (80:15) Turn again, O God of hosts, look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vineyard: 15 (80:16) And perfect the same which thy right hand hath planted: and upon the son of man whom thou hast confirmed for thyself. 16 (80:17) Things set on fire and dug down shall perish at the rebuke of thy countenance. 17 (80:18) Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand: and upon the son of man whom thou hast confirmed for thyself. 18 (80:19) And we depart not from thee, thou shalt quicken us: and we will call upon thy name. 19 (80:20) O Lord God of hosts, convert us and shew thy face, and we shall be saved.
