Psalms 80:1-13 ▼

1 <V 79:1>Unto the end. For those who will be changed. The testimony of Asaph. A Psalm. <V 79:2>The One who reigns over Israel: Be attentive. For you lead Joseph like a sheep. The One who sits upon the cherubim: Shine forth

2 <V 79:3>in the presence of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Awaken your power and draw near, so as to accomplish our salvation.

3 <V 79:4>Convert us, O God. And reveal your face, and we will be saved.

4 <V 79:5>O Lord, God of hosts, how long will you be angry over the prayer of your servant?

5 <V 79:6>How long will you feed us the bread of tears, and give us to drink a full measure of tears?

6 <V 79:7>You have set us as a contradiction to our neighbors. And our enemies have ridiculed us.

7 <V 79:8>O God of hosts, convert us. And reveal your face, and we will be saved.

8 <V 79:9>You have transferred a vineyard from Egypt. You have cast out the Gentiles, and planted it.

9 <V 79:10>You were the leader of the journey in its sight. You planted its roots, and it filled the earth.

10 <V 79:11>Its shadow covered the hills, and its branches covered the cedars of God.

11 <V 79:12>It extended its new branches even to the sea, and its new seedlings even to the river.

12 <V 79:13>So then, why have you destroyed its walls, so that all those who pass by the way gather its grapes?

13 <V 79:14>The wild boar of the forest has trampled it, and a single wild beast has laid waste to it.
