Psalms 80

1 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou who lead Joseph like a flock. Thou who sit above the cherubim, shine forth.

To victorie; this salm is witnessing of Asaph for lilies. Thou that gouernest Israel, yyue tent; that leedist forth Joseph as a scheep. Thou that sittist on cherubym; be schewid bifore Effraym,

2 Stir up thy might before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, and come to save us.

Beniamyn, and Manasses. Stire thi power, and come thou; that thou make vs saaf.

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

God of vertues, turne thou vs; and schewe thi face, and we schulen be saaf.

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

Lord God of vertues; hou longe schalt thou be wrooth on the preier of thi seruaunt?

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

Hou longe schalt thou feede vs with the breed of teeris; and schalt yyue drynke to vs with teeris in mesure?

6 Thou make us hatred to our neighbors, and our enemies laugh among themselves.

Thou hast set vs in to ayenseiyng to oure neiyboris; and oure enemyes han scornyde vs.

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

God of vertues, turne thou vs; and schewe thi face, and we schulen be saaf.

8 Thou brought a vine out of Egypt. Thou drove out the nations, and planted it.

Thou translatidist a vyne fro Egipt; thou castidist out hethene men, and plauntidist it.

9 Thou prepared place before it, and it took deep root, and filled the land.

Thou were leeder of the weie in the siyt therof; and thou plauntidist the rootis therof, and it fillide the lond.

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

The schadewe therof hilide hillis; and the braunchis therof filliden the cedris of God.

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

It streiyte forth hise siouns til to the see, and the generacioun ther of `til to the flood.

12 Why have thou broken down its walls, so that all those who pass by the way pluck it?

Whi hast thou destried the wal therof; and alle men that goen forth bi the weie gaderiden awei the grapis therof?

13 The boar out of the wood ravages it, and the wild beasts of the field feed on it.

A boor of the wode distriede it; and a singuler wielde beeste deuouride it.

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

God of vertues, be thou turned; biholde thou fro heuene, and se, and visite this vyne.

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

And make thou it perfit, which thi riythond plauntide; and biholde thou on the sone of man, which thou hast confermyd to thee.

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

Thingis brent with fier, and vndurmyned; schulen perische for the blamyng of thi cheer.

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

Thin hond be maad on the man of thi riythond; and on the sone of man, whom thou hast confermed to thee.

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

And we departiden not fro thee; thou schalt quykene vs, and we schulen inwardli clepe thi name.

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

Lord God of vertues, turne thou vs; and schewe thi face, and we schulen be saaf.
