1 O God, athe heathen are come into bthine inheritance; cThy holy temple have they defiled; dThey have laid Jerusalem on heaps. 2 eThe dead bodies of thy servants have they given To be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, fThe flesh of gthy saints unto the hbeasts of the earth. 3 Their blood have they ished like water Round about Jerusalem; and there was jnone to bury them. 4 We are become a klreproach to our neighbours, lA scorn and derision kto them that are round about us. 5 mnHow long, Lord? wilt thou be angry nfor ever? Shall thy ojealousy ooburn like fire? 6 ipPour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have qnot known thee, And upon the kingdoms that have rnot called upon thy name. 7 For they have devoured Jacob, And laid waste his sdwelling place. 8 tO remember not against us ||former iniquities: Let thy tender mercies speedily uprevent us: xFor we are brought very low. 9 yHelp us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: And deliver us, and zpurge away our sins, afor thy name’s sake. 10 bWherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? Let him be known among the heathen in our sight By the †revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed. 11 Let cthe sighing of the prisoner come before thee; According to the greatness of †thy power †Preserve thou cthose that are appointed to die; 12 And render unto eour neighbours fsevenfold ginto their bosom hTheir reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord. 13 So we hthy people and isheep of thy pasture Will give thee thanks for ever: kWe will shew forth thy praise †to all generations.

Psalm 80

To the chief Musician *upon Shoshannim-Eduth, A Psalm ||of Asaph. 1 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, Thou that leadest aJoseph aalike a flock; Thou that dwellest bbetween the cherubims, cshine forth. 2 dBefore Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh eStir up thy strength, And †come and save us. 3 fTurn us again, O God, gAnd cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. 4 hO Lord God of hosts, iHow long †wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people? 5 Thou feedest them with kthe bread of tears; And givest them tears to drink in great lmeasure. 6 Thou makest us a strife unto mour neighbours: And our enemies laugh among themselves. 7 fTurn us again, O God of hosts, And cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. 8 Thou hast brought na vine out of Egypt: Thou hast ocast out the heathen, and pplanted it. 9 Thou qpreparedst 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 rboughs unto the sea, And her sbranches tunto the river. 12 Why hast thou then ubroken down her hedges, So uthat all they which pass by the way do xpluck her? 13 The boar yout of the wood doth waste it, And zthe wild beast of the field doth devour it. 14 aReturn, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: bLook down from heaven, and cbehold, And visit this vine; 15 And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, And the dbranch that thou emadest strong for thyself. 16 It is fburned with fire, it is fcut down: They perish gat the rebuke of thy countenance. 17 hLet thy hand be upon the man of ithy right hand, Upon jthe son of man whom thou ehmadest strong for thyself. 18 So will not we go back from thee: kQuicken us, and we will call upon thy name. 19 lTurn us again, O Lord God of hosts, Cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
