Psalm 80

Qui regis Isræl

¹ Hear, O Shepherd of Israel, you that lead Joseph like a sheep;*

show yourself also, you that sit upon the cherubim.

² Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh,*

stir up your strength and come to help us.

³ Restore us again, O God;*

show the light of your countenance, and we shall be whole.

⁴ O Lord God of hosts,*

how long will you be angry with your people that pray?

⁵ You feed them with the bread of tears*

and give them plenteous tears to drink.

⁶ You have made us the derision of our neighbors,*

and our enemies laugh us to scorn.

⁷ Restore us again, O God of hosts;*

show the light of your countenance, and we shall be whole.

⁸ You have brought a vine out of Egypt;*

you have cast out the nations and planted it.

⁹ You made room for it,*

and when it had taken root, it filled the land.

¹⁰ The hills were covered with the shadow of it,*

and the boughs thereof were like the mighty cedar trees.

¹¹ It stretched out its branches to the sea*

and its boughs to the river.

¹² Why have you broken down its hedge,*

so that all those who go by pluck off its grapes?

¹³ The wild boar out of the wood roots it up,*

and the wild beasts of the field devour it.

¹⁴ Turn again, O God of hosts, look down from heaven;*

behold, and visit this vine,

¹⁵ And the place of the vineyard that your right hand has planted,*

and the branch that you made so strong for yourself.

¹⁶ As for those who burn it with fire and cut it down,*

let them perish at the rebuke of your countenance.

¹⁷ Let your hand be upon the man of your right hand*

and upon the son of man, whom you made so strong for yourself.

¹⁸ And so we will not turn back from you;*

O let us live, and we shall call upon your Name.

¹⁹ Restore us again, O Lord God of hosts;*

show the light of your countenance, and we shall be whole.
