Psalm 80. Qui regis Israel.

1. HEAR, O thou Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; *
   show thyself also, thou that sittest upon the Cherubim.
2. Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, *
   stir up thy strength, and come and help us.
3. Turn us again, O God; *
   show the light of thy countenance, and we shall be whole.
4. O Lord God of hosts, *
   how long wilt thou be angry with thy people that prayeth?
5. Thou feedest them with the bread of tears, *
   and givest them plenteousness of tears to drink.
6. Thou hast made us a very strife unto our neighbours, *
   and our enemies laugh us to scorn.
7. Turn us again, thou God of hosts; *
   show the light of thy countenance, and we shall be whole.
8. Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt; *
   thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
9. Thou madest room for it; *
   and when it had taken root, it filled the land.
10. The hills were covered with the shadow of it, *
    and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedar-trees.
11. She stretched out her branches unto the sea, *
    and her boughs unto the River.
12. Why hast thou then broken down her hedge, *
    that all they that go by pluck off her grapes?
13. The wild boar out of the wood doth root it up, *
    and the wild beasts of the field devour it.
14. Turn thee again, thou God of hosts, look down from heaven, *
    behold, and visit this vine;
15. And the place of the vineyard that thy right hand hath planted, *
    and the branch that thou madest so strong for thyself.
16. It is burnt with fire, and cut down; *
    and they shall perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
17. 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.
18. And so will not we go back from thee: *
    O let us live, and we shall call upon thy Name.
19. Turn us again, O Lord God of hosts; *
    show the light of thy countenance, and we shall be whole.
