Psalms 80:4-18

⁴Lord God of virtues, how long shalt thou be wroth on the prayer of thy servants?

⁵How long shalt thou feed us with the bread of tears; and shalt give drink to us with tears in great measure?

⁶Thou hast set or put us into against-saying to our neighbours; and our enemies have scorned us.

⁷God of virtues, turn or convert thou us; and show thy face, and we shall be safe.

⁸Thou translatedest or brought over a vine from Egypt; thou castedest out heathen men, and plantedest it.

⁹Thou were leader of the way in the sight thereof; and thou plantedest the roots thereof, and it filled the land.

¹⁰The shadow thereof covered hills; and the branches thereof filled the cedars of God.

¹¹It stretched forth his scions till to the sea, and the generations thereof till to the flood.

¹²Why hast thou destroyed the wall thereof; and all men that go forth by the way, gather away the grapes thereof?

¹³A boar of the wood destroyed it; and a singular wild beast devoured it.

¹⁴God of virtues, be thou turned again to us; behold from heaven, and see, and visit this vine.

¹⁵And make thou it perfect, which thy right hand planted; and behold thou on the son of man, which thou hast confirmed to thee.

¹⁶Things were burnt with fire, and undermined; they who did this shall perish for the blaming of thy cheer.

¹⁷Thine hand be made on the man of thy right hand; and on the son of man, whom thou hast confirmed to thee.

¹⁸And we departed not from thee; thou shalt quicken us, and we shall inwardly call thy name.
