The Eightieth Psalm

Qui regis Israel.


HEAR, O thou Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; * show thyself also, thou that sittest upon the Cherubim.
 
Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, * stir up thy strength, and come and help us.
 
Turn us again, O God; * show the light of thy countenance, and we shall be whole.
 
O LORD God of hosts, * how long wilt thou be angry with thy people that prayeth?
 
Thou feedest them with the bread of tears, * and givest them plenteousness of tears to drink.
 
Thou hast made us a very strife unto our neighbours, * and our enemies laugh us to scorn.
 
Turn us again, thou God of hosts; * show the light of thy countenance, and we shall be whole.
 
Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt; * thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
 
Thou madest room for it; * and when it had taken root, it filled the land.
 
The hills were covered with the shadow of it, * and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedar-trees.
 
She stretched out her branches unto the sea, * and her boughs unto the River.
 
Why hast thou then broken down her hedge, * that all they that go by pluck off her grapes?
 
The wild boar out of the wood doth root it up, * and the wild beasts of the field devour it.
 
Turn thee again, thou God of hosts, look down from heaven, * behold, and visit this vine;
 
And the place of the vineyard that thy right hand hath planted, * and the branch that thou madest so strong for thyself.
 
It is burnt with fire, and cut down; * and they shall perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
 
Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, * and upon the son of man, whom thou madest so strong for thine own self.
 
And so will not we go back from thee: * let us live, and we shall call upon thy Name.
 
Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts; * show the light of thy countenance, and we shall be whole.
