Psalms 80 Comparison: American Standard Version vs Berean Study Bible

Psalms 80

¹Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, Thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; Thou that sittest above the cherubim, shine forth.

²Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up thy might, And come to save us.

³Turn us again, O God; And cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

⁴O Jehovah God of hosts, How long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?

⁵Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears, And given them tears to drink in large measure.

⁶Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbors; And our enemies laugh among themselves.

⁷Turn us again, O God of hosts; And cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

⁸Thou broughtest a vine out of Egypt: Thou didst drive out the nations, and plantedst it.

⁹Thou preparedst room before it, And it took deep root, and filled the land.

¹⁰The mountains were covered with the shadow of it, And the boughs thereof were like cedars of God.

¹¹It sent out its branches unto the sea, And its shoots unto the River.

¹²Why hast thou broken down its walls, So that all they that pass by the way do pluck it?

¹³The boar out of the wood doth ravage it, And the wild beasts of the field feed on it.

¹⁴Turn again, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: Look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine,

¹⁵And the stock which thy right hand planted, And the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.

¹⁶It is burned with fire, it is cut down: They perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.

¹⁷Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, Upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.

¹⁸So shall we not go back from thee: Quicken thou us, and we will call upon thy name.

¹⁹Turn us again, O Jehovah God of hosts; Cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

Psalms 80

¹Hear us, O Shepherd of Israel, who leads Joseph like a flock; You who sit enthroned between the cherubim, shine forth

²before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Rally Your mighty power and come to save us.

³Restore us, O God, and cause Your face to shine upon us, that we may be saved.

⁴O LORD God of Hosts, how long will Your anger smolder against the prayers of Your people?

⁵You fed them with the bread of tears and made them drink the full measure of their tears.

⁶You make us contend with our neighbors; our enemies mock us.

⁷Restore us, O God of Hosts, and cause Your face to shine upon us, that we may be saved.

⁸You uprooted a vine from Egypt; You drove out the nations and transplanted it.

⁹You cleared the ground for it, and it took root and filled the land.

¹⁰The mountains were covered by its shade, and the mighty cedars with its branches.

¹¹It sent out its branches to the Sea, and its shoots toward the River.

¹²Why have You broken down its walls, so that all who pass by pick its fruit?

¹³The boar from the forest ravages it, and the creatures of the field feed upon it.

¹⁴Return, O God of Hosts, we pray! Look down from heaven and see! Attend to this vine—

¹⁵the root Your right hand has planted, the son You have raised up for Yourself.

¹⁶Your vine has been cut down and burned; they perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.

¹⁷Let Your hand be upon the man at Your right hand, on the son of man You have raised up for Yourself.

¹⁸Then we will not turn away from You; revive us, and we will call on Your name.

¹⁹Restore us, O LORD God of Hosts; cause Your face to shine upon us, that we may be saved.
