1(80) For the end, for alternate [strains], a testimony for Asaph, a Psalm concerning the Assyrian. Attend, O Shepherd of Israel, who guide Joseph like a flock; you who sit upon the cherubs, manifest yourself;
1Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.
2before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasse, stir up your power, and come to deliver us.
2Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us.
3Turn us , O God, and cause your face to shine; and we shall be delivered.
3Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
4O Lord God of hosts, how long are you angry with the prayer of your servant?
4O Lord God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
5You will feed us with bread of tears; and will cause us to drink tears by measure.
5Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.
6You have made us a strife to our neighbors; and our enemies have mocked at us.
6Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.
7Turn us , O Lord God of hosts, and cause your face to shine; and we shall be saved. Pause.
7Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
8You have transplanted a vine out of Egypt: you have cast out the heathen, and planted it.
8Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
9You made a way before it, and did cause its roots to strike, and the land was filled [with it].
9Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.
10Its shadow covered the mountains, and its shoots [equalled] the goodly cedars.
10The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.
11It sent forth its branches to the sea, and its shoots to the river.
11She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.
12Therefore have you broken down its hedge, while all that pass by the way pluck it?
12Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?
13The boar out of the wood has laid it waste , and the wild beast has devoured it.
13The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.
14O God of hosts, turn, we pray you: look on [us] from heaven, and beholdand visit this vine;
14Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
15and restore that which your right hand has planted: and look on the son of man whom you did strengthen for yourself.
15And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.
16[It is] burnt with fire and dug up: they shall perish at the rebuke of your presence.
16It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
17Let your hand be upon the man of your right hand, and upon the son of man whom you did strengthen for yourself.
17Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.
18So will we not depart from you: you shall quicken us, and we will call upon your name.
18So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.
19Turn us , O Lord God of hosts, and make your face to shine; and we shall be saved.
19Turn us again, O Lord God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
