Psalm 79
1. O GOD, the
heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they
defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.
2. The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto
the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the
earth.
3. Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and
there was none to bury them.
4. We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to
them that are round about us.
5. How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn
like fire?
6. Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and
upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.
7. For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.
8. O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies
speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.
9. Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and
deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake.
10. Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be
known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of
thy servants which is shed.
11. Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the
greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die;
12. And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their
reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.
13. So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for
ever: we will shew forth thy praise to all generations.
Psalm 80
1. GIVE ear,
O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that
dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.
2. Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and
come and save us.
3. Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be
saved.
4. O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer
of thy people?
5. Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to
drink in great measure.
6. Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh
among themselves.
7. Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we
shall be saved.
8. Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the
heathen, and planted it.
9. Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root,
and it filled the land.
10. The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof
were like the goodly cedars.
11. She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the
river.
12. Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which
pass by the way do pluck her?
13. The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the
field doth devour it.
14. Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and
behold, and visit this vine;
15. And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch
that thou madest strong for thyself.
16. It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of
thy countenance.
17. Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man
whom thou madest strong for thyself.
18. So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon
thy name.
19. Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine;
and we shall be saved.
