Chapter 79

¹ Unto the end, for them that shall he changed, a testimony for Asaph, a psalm.
² Give ear, O thou that rulest Israel: thou that leadest Joseph like a sheep. Thou that sittest upon the cherubims, shine forth
³ before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasses. Stir up thy might, and come to save us.
⁴ Convert us, O God: and shew us thy face, and we shall be saved.
⁵ O Lord God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy servant?
⁶ How long wilt thou feed us with the bread of tears: and give us for our drink tears in measure?
⁷ Thou hast made us to be a contradiction to our neighbours: and our enemies have scoffed at us.
⁸ O God of hosts, convert us: and shew thy face, and we shall be saved.
⁹ Thou hast brought a vineyard out of Egypt: thou hast cast cut the Gentiles and planted it.
¹⁰ Thou wast the guide of its journey in its sight: thou plantedst the roots thereof, and it filled the land.
¹¹ The shadow of it covered the hills: and the branches thereof the cedars of God.
¹² It stretched forth its branches unto the sea, and its boughs unto the river.
¹³ Why hast thou broken down the hedge thereof, so that all they who pass by the way do pluck it?
¹⁴ The boar out of the wood hath laid it waste: and a singular wild beast hath devoured it.
¹⁵ Turn again, O God of hosts, look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vineyard:
¹⁶ And perfect the same which thy right hand hath planted: and upon the son of man whom thou hast confirmed for thyself.
¹⁷ Things set on fire and dug down shall perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
¹⁸ Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand: and upon the son of man whom thou hast confirmed for thyself.
¹⁹ And we depart not from thee, thou shalt quicken us: and we will call upon thy name.
²⁰ O Lord God of hosts, convert us: and shew thy face, and we shall be saved.

¹ A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the heathen have come into thy inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.
² The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be food to the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints, to the beasts of the earth.

⁵ How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?

⁷ For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling-place.
⁸ O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily succor us: for we are brought very low.
⁹ Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake.

¹¹ Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die;
¹² And render to our neighbors seven-fold into their bosom their reproach, with which they have reproached thee, O Lord.
¹³ So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will show forth thy praise to all generations.
