Bible. Books of the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments

9 Out of Egypt Thou hast brought the vine, Thou hast driven out the nations, and hast planted it;

10 He made a place for it, and strengthened its roots, and it filled the earth.

11 The mountains are covered with her shadow, and her branches are like the cedars of God;

12 And she put forth her branches to the sea, and her branches to the river.

13 Why hast thou broken down her hedges, so that all that pass by the way cut her off?

14 The boar of the forest undermines it, and the beast of the field devours it.

15 God Almighty! Turn then, look down from heaven, and look, and visit this vineyard;

16 Guard the things which your right hand has planted, and the branches which you have strengthened for yourself.

17 He was burned with fire, circumcised; from the rebuke of Thy face they shall perish.

18 Thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, over the son of man, whom thou hast strengthened unto thyself,

19 and we will not depart from thee; revive us, and we will call upon Thy name.

20 O Lord God Almighty! restore us; let Thy face shine, and we shall be saved!

Psalm 80

1 To the head of the choir. On the gun of Gath. Psalm of Asaph.

2 Sing joyfully to God, our stronghold; cry out to the God of Jacob;

3 Take a psalm, give a tympanum, a sweet-sounding harp with a psalter;

4 Blow the trumpet on the new moon, at a certain time, on the day of our feast;

5 for this is the law for Israel, the statute of the God of Jacob.

6 He instituted this as a testimony to Joseph when he came out of the land of Egypt, where he heard the sound of a tongue which he did not know:

7 "I took the weights from his shoulders, and his hands were freed from the baskets.

8 In distress thou hast called me, and I have delivered thee; out of the midst of the thunder I have heard thee, I have tried thee by the waters of the Meribah.
