To the chief Musician. On Shoshannim-Eduth. Of Asaph. A Psalm.

80 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that sittest [between] the cherubim, shine forth.

² Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up thy strength, and come to our deliverance.

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

⁴ Jehovah, God of hosts, how long will thine anger smoke against the prayer of thy people?

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

⁶ Thou hast made us a strife unto our neighbours, and our enemies mock among themselves.

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

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

¹⁸ So will we not go back from thee. Revive us, and we will call upon thy name.

¹⁹ Restore us, O Jehovah, God of hosts; cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

²³ And who is like thy people, like Israel, the one nation in the earth that God went to redeem to be a people to himself, and to make himself a name, and to do for them great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thyself from Egypt, from the nations and their gods?

²⁴ And thou hast established to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever; and thou, Jehovah, art become their God.

²⁵ And now, Jehovah Elohim, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house, fulfil it for ever, and do as thou hast said.

²⁶ And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, Jehovah of hosts is God over Israel; and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee.

²⁷ For thou, Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee a house; therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee.

²⁸ And now, Lord Jehovah, thou art that God, and thy words are true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant;

²⁹ and now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever; for thou, Lord Jehovah, hast spoken it; and with thy blessing shall the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.

³¹ He who comes from above is above all. He who has his origin in the earth is of the earth, and speaks [as] of the earth. He who comes out of heaven is above all,

³² [and] what he has seen and has heard, this he testifies; and no one receives his testimony.

³³ He that has received his testimony has set to his seal that God is true;

³⁴ for he whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives not the Spirit by measure.

³⁵ The Father loves the Son, and has given all things [to be] in his hand.

³⁶ He that believes on the Son has life eternal, and he that is not subject to the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides upon him.
