CHAP. LXXX.

1 The Psalmist in his prayer complaineth of the miseries of the Church. 8 Gods former fauours are turned into iudgements. 14 Hee prayeth for deliuerance.

¹ [To the chiefe Musician vpon Shoshannim Eduth, A Psalme of Asaph.] Giue eare, shepheard of Israel, thou that leadest Ioseph like a flocke, thou that dwellest betweene the Cherubims, shine forth.

² Before Ephraim and Beniamin, and Manasseh, stirre vp thy strength: and come and saue vs.²

³ Turne vs againe, O God: and cause thy face to shine, and we shall bee saued.

⁴ O Lord God of hosts, how long wilt thou bee angry against the prayer of thy people?⁴

⁵ Thou feedest them with the bread of teares: and giuest them teares to drinke in great measure.

⁶ Thou makest vs a strife vnto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselues.

⁷ Turne vs againe, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saued.

⁸ Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.

⁹ Thou preparedst roome before it: and didst cause it to take deepe root, and it filled the land.

¹⁰ The hilles were couered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.¹⁰

¹¹ She sent out her boughs vnto the Sea: and her branches vnto the riuer.

¹² Why hast thou then broken downe her hedges: so that all they which passe by the way, doe plucke her?

¹³ The boare out of the wood doth waste it: and the wild beast of the field doth deuoure it.

¹⁴ Returne, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: looke downe from heauen, and behold, and visit this vine:

¹⁵ And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted: and the branch that thou madest strong for thy selfe.

¹⁶ It is burnt with fire, it is cut downe: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.

¹⁷ Let thy hand be vpon the man of thy right hand: vpon the sonne of man, whom thou madest strong for thy selfe.

¹⁸ So will not wee goe backe from thee: quicken vs, and we will call vpon thy Name.

¹⁹ Turne vs againe, O Lord God of hosts, cause thy face to shine, and wee shall be saued.
