Psalms 80:4-16

⁴(80-5) O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt Thou be angry against the prayer of Thy people?

⁵(80-6) Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in large measure.

⁶(80-7) Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours; and our enemies mock as they please.

⁷(80-8) O God of hosts, restore us; and cause Thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

⁸(80-9) Thou didst pluck up a vine out of Egypt; Thou didst drive out the nations, and didst plant it.

⁹(80-10) Thou didst clear a place before it, and it took deep root, and filled the land.

¹⁰(80-11) The mountains were covered with the shadow of it, and the mighty cedars with the boughs thereof.

¹¹(80-12) She sent out her branches unto the sea, and her shoots unto the River.

¹²(80-13) Why hast Thou broken down her fences, so that all they that pass by the way do pluck her?

¹³(80-14) The boar out of the wood doth ravage it, that which moveth in the field feedeth on it.

¹⁴(80-15) O God of hosts, return, we beseech Thee; look from heaven, and behold, and be mindful of this vine,

¹⁵(80-16) And of the stock which Thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that Thou madest strong for Thyself.

¹⁶(80-17) It is burned with fire, it is cut down; they perish at the rebuke of Thy countenance.
