1898 Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Psalms 80

1 The psalmist in his prayer complaineth of the miseries of the Church. 8 God's former favours are turned into judgments. 14 He prayeth for deliverance.

 80:1 ¶ To the Overseer.—'On the Lilies.' A testimony of Asaph.—A Psalm. Shepherd of Israel, give ear, Leading Joseph as a flock, Inhabiting the cherubs—shine forth,

 80:2 Before Ephraim, and Benjamin, and Manasseh, Wake up Thy might, and come for our salvation.

 80:3 O God, cause us to turn back, And cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved.

 80:4 Jehovah, God of Hosts, till when? Thou hast burned against the prayer of Thy people.

 80:5 Thou hast caused them to eat bread of tears, And causest them to drink With tears a third time.

 80:6 Thou makest us a strife to our neighbours, And our enemies mock at it.

 80:7 God of Hosts, turn us back, And cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved.

 80:8 A vine out of Egypt Thou dost bring, Thou dost cast out nations, and plantest it.

 80:9 Thou hast looked before it, and dost root it, And it filleth the land,

 80:10 Covered have been hills [with] its shadow, And its boughs [are] cedars of God.

 80:11 It sendeth forth its branches unto the sea, And unto the river its sucklings.

 80:12 Why hast Thou broken down its hedges, And all passing by the way have plucked it?

 80:13 A boar out of the forest doth waste it, And a wild beast of the fields consumeth it.

 80:14 God of Hosts, turn back, we beseech Thee, Look from heaven, and see, and inspect this vine,

 80:15 And the root that Thy right hand planted, And the branch Thou madest strong for Thee,

 80:16 Burnt with fire—cut down, From the rebuke of Thy face they perish.

 80:17 Let Thy hand be on the man of Thy right hand, On the son of man Thou hast strengthened for Thyself.

 80:18 And we do not go back from Thee, Thou dost revive us, and in Thy name we call.

 80:19 O Jehovah, God of Hosts, turn us back, Cause Thy face to shine, and we are saved!
