Psalm 80
King James Version
80 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.

Jusques à quand, Seigneur ?
80 Au chef de chœur, à chanter sur la mélodie des « Lis[a] de la Loi ». Psaume d’Asaph[b].
2 O Berger d’Israël, ╵tends vers moi ton oreille,
toi qui conduis Joseph[c] ╵comme un troupeau !
O toi qui sièges ╵entre les chérubins[d],
parais dans ta splendeur
3 aux regards d’Ephraïm, ╵de Benjamin, ╵de Manassé[e] ! ╵Déploie ta force !
Viens nous sauver !
4 O Dieu, rétablis-nous,
montre-toi favorable, ╵et nous serons sauvés !
5 O Eternel, ╵Dieu des armées célestes,
jusques à quand ╵seras-tu en colère
en réponse aux prières ╵que t’adresse ton peuple ?
6 Tu le nourris ╵d’un pain trempé de pleurs.
Tu lui fais boire ╵des larmes sans mesure.
7 Tu fais de nous ╵un brandon de discorde ╵pour nos voisins !
Et nos ennemis se moquent de nous.
8 Dieu des armées célestes, ╵rétablis-nous,
montre-toi favorable, ╵et nous serons sauvés !
9 Tu avais arraché ╵de l’Egypte une vigne[f],
puis tu as chassé des peuplades, ╵et tu l’as replantée.
10 Tu avais déblayé ╵le terrain devant elle
et elle a pris racine ╵profondément en terre, ╵puis elle a rempli le pays.
11 Son ombre couvrait les montagnes,
ses sarments ressemblaient ╵aux plus grands cèdres.
12 Elle étendait ╵ses vrilles vers la mer
et ses rejets ╵allaient jusqu’à l’Euphrate[g].
13 Pourquoi as-tu ╵défoncé ses clôtures ?
Tous les passants ╵viennent y grappiller.
14 Le sanglier ╵qui sort de la forêt ╵la retourne en tous sens.
Les animaux des champs ╵viennent y pâturer.
15 Dieu des armées célestes, ╵reviens enfin !
Jette un regard ╵du haut du ciel et vois !
Viens t’occuper ╵de cette vigne !
16 Viens protéger ╵ce cep que tu as toi-même planté,
ce rejeton[h] ╵que tu as fait grandir pour toi !
17 On y a mis le feu, ╵elle a été coupée !
Que sous l’effet de ta colère ╵les ennemis périssent !
18 Protège l’homme ╵qui se tient à ta droite,
cet homme que pour ton service ╵tu as fortifié.
19 Et, jamais plus, ╵nous ne te quitterons.
Fais-nous revivre ╵et nous t’invoquerons !
20 O Eternel, ╵Dieu des armées célestes, ╵rétablis-nous,
montre-toi favorable, ╵et nous serons sauvés !

Psalm 80
New King James Version
Psalm 80
New King James Version
Prayer for Israel’s Restoration
To the Chief Musician. (A)Set to [a]“The Lilies.” A [b]Testimony of Asaph. A Psalm.
80 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel,
(B)You who lead Joseph (C)like a flock;
You who dwell between the cherubim, (D)shine forth!
2 Before (E)Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh,
Stir up Your strength,
And come and save us!
4 O Lord God of hosts,
(H)How long will You be angry
Against the prayer of Your people?
5 (I)You have fed them with the bread of tears,
And given them tears to drink in great measure.
6 You have made us a strife to our neighbors,
And our enemies laugh among themselves.
7 Restore us, O God of hosts;
Cause Your face to shine,
And we shall be saved!
8 You have brought (J)a vine out of Egypt;
(K)You have cast out the [c]nations, and planted it.
9 You prepared room for it,
And caused it to take deep root,
And it filled the land.
10 The hills were covered with its shadow,
And the [d]mighty cedars with its (L)boughs.
11 She sent out her boughs to [e]the Sea,
And her branches to [f]the River.
12 Why have You (M)broken down her [g]hedges,
So that all who pass by the way pluck her fruit?
13 The boar out of the woods uproots it,
And the wild beast of the field devours it.
14 Return, we beseech You, O God of hosts;
(N)Look down from heaven and see,
And visit this vine
15 And the vineyard which Your right hand has planted,
And the branch that You made strong (O)for Yourself.
16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down;
(P)They perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.
17 (Q)Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand,
Upon the son of man whom You made strong for Yourself.
18 Then we will not turn back from You;
Revive us, and we will call upon Your name.
19 Restore us, O Lord God of hosts;
Cause Your face to shine,
And we shall be saved!

Psalm 80[a]
For the director of music. To the tune of “The Lilies of the Covenant.” Of Asaph. A psalm.
1 Hear us, Shepherd of Israel,
you who lead Joseph like a flock.(A)
You who sit enthroned between the cherubim,(B)
shine forth 2 before Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh.(C)
Awaken(D) your might;
come and save us.(E)
4 How long,(I) Lord God Almighty,
will your anger smolder(J)
against the prayers of your people?
5 You have fed them with the bread of tears;(K)
you have made them drink tears by the bowlful.(L)
6 You have made us an object of derision[b] to our neighbors,
and our enemies mock us.(M)
7 Restore us, God Almighty;
make your face shine on us,
that we may be saved.(N)
8 You transplanted a vine(O) from Egypt;
you drove out(P) the nations and planted(Q) it.
9 You cleared the ground for it,
and it took root and filled the land.
10 The mountains were covered with its shade,
the mighty cedars with its branches.
11 Its branches reached as far as the Sea,[c]
its shoots as far as the River.[d](R)
12 Why have you broken down its walls(S)
so that all who pass by pick its grapes?
13 Boars from the forest ravage(T) it,
and insects from the fields feed on it.
14 Return to us, God Almighty!
Look down from heaven and see!(U)
Watch over this vine,
15 the root your right hand has planted,
the son[e] you have raised up for yourself.
16 Your vine is cut down, it is burned with fire;(V)
at your rebuke(W) your people perish.
17 Let your hand rest on the man at your right hand,
the son of man(X) you have raised up for yourself.
18 Then we will not turn away from you;
revive(Y) us, and we will call on your name.
19 Restore us, Lord God Almighty;
make your face shine on us,
that we may be saved.
