Psalm 80

New Coverdale Version

Hear, O Shepherd of Israel, you that lead Joseph like a sheep; * show yourself also, you that sit upon the cherubim.

Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, * stir up your strength and come to help us.

Restore us again, O God; * show the light of your countenance, and we shall be whole.

O Lord God of hosts, * how long will you be angry with your people that pray?

You feed them with the bread of tears * and give them plenteous tears to drink.

You have made us the derision of our neighbors, * and our enemies laugh us to scorn.

Restore us again, O God of hosts; * show the light of your countenance, and we shall be whole.

You have brought a vine out of Egypt; * you have cast out the nations and planted it.

You made room for it, * and when it had taken root, it filled the land.

The hills were covered with the shadow of it, * and the boughs thereof were like the mighty cedar trees.

It stretched out its branches to the sea * and its boughs to the river.

Why have you broken down its hedge, * so that all those who go by pluck off its grapes?

The wild boar out of the wood roots it up, * and the wild beasts of the field devour it.

Turn again, O God of hosts, look down from heaven; * behold, and visit this vine,

And the place of the vineyard that your right hand has planted, * and the branch that you made so strong for yourself.

As for those who burn it with fire and cut it down, * let them perish at the rebuke of your countenance.

Let your hand be upon the man of your right hand * and upon the son of man, whom you made so strong for yourself.

And so we will not turn back from you; * O let us live, and we shall call upon your Name.

Restore us again, O Lord God of hosts; * show the light of your countenance, and we shall be whole.
