Psalm 80–90
God Implored to Rescue His People from Their Calamities.
For the choir director; set to †El Shoshannim; •Eduth. A Psalm of Asaph.
1 Oh, give ear, aShepherd of Israel,
You who lead bJoseph like a flock;
You who care enthroned above the cherubim, shine forth!
2 Before aEphraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, bstir up Your power
And come to save us!
3 O God, arestore us
And bcause Your face to shine upon us, 1and we will be saved.
4 O aLord God of hosts,
bHow long will You 1be angry with the prayer of Your people?
5 You have fed them with the abread of tears,
And You have made them to drink tears in 1large measure.
6 You make us 1an object of contention ato our neighbors,
And our enemies laugh among themselves.
And cause Your face to shine upon us, 1and we will be saved.
8 You removed a avine from Egypt;
You bdrove out the 1nations and cplanted it.
9 You acleared the ground before it,
And it btook deep root and filled the land.
10 The mountains were covered with its shadow,
And 1the cedars of God with its aboughs.
11 It was sending out its branches ato the sea
And its shoots to the River.
12 Why have You abroken down its 1hedges,
So that all who pass that way pick its fruit?
13 A boar from the forest aeats it away
And whatever moves in the field feeds on it.
14 O God of hosts, aturn again now, we beseech You;
bLook down from heaven and see, and take care of this vine,
15 Even the 1ashoot which Your right hand has planted,
And on the 2son whom You have 3strengthened for Yourself.
16 It is aburned with fire, it is cut down;
They perish at the brebuke of Your countenance.
17 Let aYour hand be upon the man of Your right hand,
Upon the son of man whom You bmade strong for Yourself.
18 Then we shall not aturn back from You;
bRevive us, and we will call upon Your name.
19 O Lord God of hosts, arestore us;
Cause Your face to shine upon us, 1and we will be saved.
God’s Goodness and Israel’s Waywardness.
For the choir director; †on the Gittith. A Psalm of Asaph.
1 aSing for joy to God our bstrength;
Shout cjoyfully to the dGod of Jacob.
2 Raise a song, strike athe timbrel,
The sweet sounding blyre with the charp.
3 Blow the trumpet at the anew moon,
At the full moon, on our bfeast day.
4 For it is a statute for Israel,
An ordinance of the God of Jacob.
5 He established it for a testimony in Joseph
When he 1awent throughout the land of Egypt.
I heard a blanguage that I did not know:
6 “I 1arelieved his shoulder of the burden,
His hands were freed from the 2basket.
7 “You acalled in trouble and I rescued you;
I banswered you in the hiding place of thunder;
I proved you at the cwaters of Meribah.
1Selah.
8 “aHear, O My people, and I will 1admonish you;
O Israel, if you bwould listen to Me!
9 “Let there be no astrange god among you;
Nor shall you worship any foreign god.
10 “aI, the Lord, am your God,
Who brought you up from the land of Egypt;
bOpen your mouth wide and I will cfill it.
11 “But My people adid not listen to My voice,
And Israel did not 1obey Me.
12 “So I agave 1them over to the stubbornness of their heart,
To walk in their own devices.
13 “Oh that My people awould listen to Me,
That Israel would bwalk in My ways!
14 “I would quickly asubdue their enemies
And bturn My hand against their adversaries.
15 “aThose who hate the Lord would bpretend obedience to Him,
And their time of punishment would be forever.
16 “1But I would feed you with the 2afinest of the wheat,
And with bhoney from the rock I would satisfy you.”
A Psalm of Asaph.
1 God takes His astand in 1His own congregation;
He bjudges in the midst of the 2crulers.
2 How long will you ajudge unjustly
And bshow partiality to the wicked?
1Selah.
3 aVindicate the weak and fatherless;
Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.
4 aRescue the weak and needy;
Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.
5 They ado not know nor do they understand;
They bwalk about in darkness;
All the cfoundations of the earth are shaken.
And all of you are bsons of the Most High.
7 “Nevertheless ayou will die like men
And fall like any bone of the princes.”
8 aArise, O God, bjudge the earth!
For it is You who cpossesses all the nations.
God Implored to Confound His Enemies.
A Song, a Psalm of Asaph.
1 O God, ado not remain quiet;
bDo not be silent and, O God, do not be still.
2 For behold, Your enemies amake an uproar,
And bthose who hate You have 1cexalted themselves.
3 They amake shrewd plans against Your people,
And 1conspire together against bYour 2treasured ones.
4 They have said, “Come, and alet us wipe them out 1as a nation,
That the bname of Israel be remembered no more.”
5 For they have 1aconspired together with one mind;
Against You they make a covenant:
6 The tents of aEdom and the bIshmaelites,
7 aGebal and bAmmon and cAmalek,
dPhilistia with the inhabitants of eTyre;
8 aAssyria also has joined with them;
They have become 1a help to the bchildren of Lot.
2Selah.
9 Deal with them aas with Midian,
As bwith Sisera and Jabin at the torrent of Kishon,
10 Who were destroyed at En-dor,
Who abecame as dung for the ground.
11 Make their nobles like aOreb and Zeeb
And all their princes like bZebah and Zalmunna,
12 Who said, “aLet us possess for ourselves
The bpastures of God.”
13 O my God, make them like the 1awhirling dust,
Like bchaff before the wind.
14 Like afire that burns the forest
And like a flame that bsets the mountains on fire,
15 So pursue them awith Your tempest
And terrify them with Your storm.
16 aFill their faces with dishonor,
That they may seek Your name, O Lord.
17 Let them be aashamed and dismayed forever,
And let them be humiliated and perish,
18 That they may aknow that bYou alone, whose name is the Lord,
Are the cMost High over all the earth.
Longing for the Temple Worship.
For the choir director; †on the Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.
1 How lovely are Your adwelling places,
O Lord of hosts!
2 My asoul longed and even yearned for the courts of the Lord;
My heart and my flesh sing for joy to the bliving God.
3 The bird also has found a house,
And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young,
Even Your aaltars, O Lord of hosts,
bMy King and my God.
4 How ablessed are those who dwell in Your house!
They are bever praising You.
1Selah.
5 How blessed is the man whose astrength is in You,
In 1whose heart are the bhighways to Zion!
6 Passing through the valley of 1Baca they make it a 2spring;
The aearly rain also covers it with blessings.
7 They ago from strength to strength,
1Every one of them bappears before God in Zion.
8 O aLord God of hosts, hear my prayer;
Give ear, O bGod of Jacob!
Selah.
9 Behold our ashield, O God,
And look upon the face of bYour anointed.
10 For aa day in Your courts is better than a thousand outside.
I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God
Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 For the Lord God is aa sun and bshield;
The Lord gives grace and cglory;
dNo good thing does He withhold 1from those who walk 2uprightly.
How ablessed is the man who trusts in You!
Prayer for God’s Mercy upon the Nation.
For the choir director. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.
1 O Lord, You showed afavor to Your land;
You 1brestored the captivity of Jacob.
2 You aforgave the iniquity of Your people;
You bcovered all their sin.
1Selah.
3 You awithdrew all Your fury;
You bturned away from Your burning anger.
4 aRestore us, O God of our salvation,
And bcause Your indignation toward us to cease.
5 Will aYou be angry with us forever?
Will You prolong Your anger to 1all generations?
6 Will You not Yourself 1arevive us again,
That Your people may brejoice in You?
7 Show us Your lovingkindness, O Lord,
And agrant us Your salvation.
8 1I will hear what God the Lord will say;
For He will aspeak peace to His people, 2to His godly ones;
But let them not bturn back to 3folly.
9 Surely aHis salvation is near to those who 1fear Him,
That bglory may dwell in our land.
10 aLovingkindness and 1truth have met together;
bRighteousness and peace have kissed each other.
11 1Truth asprings from the earth,
And righteousness looks down from heaven.
12 Indeed, athe Lord will give what is good,
And our bland will yield its produce.
13 aRighteousness will go before Him
And will make His footsteps into a way.
A Psalm of Supplication and Trust.

14 O God, arrogant men have arisen up against me,
And 1a band of violent men have sought my 2life,
And they have not set You before them.
15 But You, O Lord, are a God amerciful and gracious,
Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness and 1truth.
16 aTurn to me, and be gracious to me;

That those who hate me may bsee it and be ashamed,
Because You, O Lord, chave helped me and comforted me.
