*
To the choirmaster :
according to Lilies .
A Testimony of Asaph .
A Psalm .
*
Give ear ,
O Shepherd of Israel ,
thou who leadest Joseph like a flock !
Thou who art enthroned upon the cherubim ,
shine forth
*
before E '
phraim and Benjamin and Manas '
seh !
Stir up thy might ,
and come to save us !
*
Restore us ,
O God ;
let thy face shine ,
that we may be saved !
*
O LORD God of hosts ,
how long wilt thou be angry with thy people '
s prayers ?
*
Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears ,
and given them tears to drink in full measure .
*
Thou dost make us the scorn of our neighbors ;
and our enemies laugh among themselves .
*
Restore us ,
O God of hosts ;
let thy face shine ,
that we may be saved !
*
Thou didst bring a vine out of Egypt ;
thou didst drive out the nations and plant it .
*
Thou didst clear the ground for it ;
it took deep root and filled the land .
*
The mountains were covered with its shade ,
the mighty cedars with its branches ;
*
it sent out its branches to the sea ,
and its shoots to the River .
*
Why then hast thou broken down its walls ,
so that all who pass along the way pluck its fruit ?
*
The boar from the forest ravages it ,
and all that move in the field feed on it .
*
Turn again ,
O God of hosts !
Look down from heaven ,
and see ;
have regard for this vine ,
*
the stock which thy right hand planted .
*
They have burned it with fire ,
they have cut it down ;
may they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance !
*
But let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand ,
the son of man whom thou hast made strong for thyself !
*
Then we will never turn back from thee ;
give us life ,
and we will call on thy name ! [ (
Psalms strkjv @
80:20 )
Restore us ,
O LORD God of hosts !
let thy face shine ,
that we may be saved ! ]
