Psalms 80 Comparison: Geneva Bible 1599 vs King James Version
Psalms 80
1To him that excelleth on Shoshannim Eduth. A Psalme committed to Asaph. Heare, O thou Shepheard of Israel, thou that leadest Ioseph like sheepe: shewe thy brightnes, thou that sittest betweene the Cherubims.
2Before Ephraim and Beniamin and Manasseh stirre vp thy strength, and come to helpe vs.
3Turne vs againe, O God, and cause thy face to shine that we may be saued.
4O Lord God of hostes, how long wilt thou be angrie against the prayer of thy people?
5Thou hast fedde them with the bread of teares, and giuen them teares to drinke with great measure.
6Thou hast made vs a strife vnto our neighbours, and our enemies laugh at vs among themselues.
7Turne vs againe, O God of hostes: cause thy face to shine, and we shalbe saued.
8Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
9Thou madest roume for it, and didest cause it to take roote, and it filled the land.
10The mountaines were couered with the shadowe of it, and the boughes thereof were like the goodly cedars.
11Shee stretched out her branches vnto the Sea, and her boughes vnto the Riuer.
12Why hast thou then broken downe her hedges, so that all they, which passe by the way, haue plucked her?
13The wilde bore out of the wood hath destroyed it, and the wilde beastes of the fielde haue eaten it vp.
14Returne we beseech thee, O God of hostes: looke downe from heauen and beholde and visite this vine,
15And the vineyard, that thy right hand hath planted, and the young vine, which thou madest strong for thy selfe.
16It is burnt with fire and cut downe: and they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
17Let thine hande be vpon the man of thy right hande, and vpon the sonne of man, whome thou madest strong for thine owne selfe.
18So will not we goe backe from thee: reuiue thou vs, and we shall call vpon thy Name.
19Turne vs againe, O Lord God of hostes: cause thy face to shine and we shalbe saued.
Psalms 80
1Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.
2Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us.
3Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
4O Lord God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
5Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.
6Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: 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 hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
9Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.
10The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.
11She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.
12Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?
13The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.
14Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
15And the vineyard which thy right hand hath 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 will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.
19Turn us again, O Lord God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
