tears to drink in large measure.
080:006 You make us a source of contention to our neighbors.
Our enemies laugh among themselves.
080:007 Turn us again, God of Armies. Cause your face to shine,
and we will be saved.
080:008 You brought a vine out of Egypt. You drove out the nations,
and planted it.
080:009 You cleared the ground for it. It took deep root,
and filled the land.
080:010 The mountains were covered with its shadow. Its boughs were
like God's cedars.
080:011 It sent out its branches to the sea, Its shoots to the River.
080:012 Why have you broken down its walls, so that all those who pass
by the way pluck it?
080:013 The boar out of the wood ravages it. The wild animals
of the field feed on it.
080:014 Turn again, we beg you, God of Armies. Look down from heaven,
and see, and visit this vine,
080:015 the stock which your right hand planted, the branch that you
made strong for yourself.
080:016 It's burned with fire. It's cut down. They perish at your rebuke.

By Asaph.>> Sing aloud to God, our strength! Make a joyful
shout to the God of Jacob!
081:002 Raise a song, and bring here the tambourine, the pleasant lyre
with the harp.
081:003 Blow the trumpet at the New Moon, at the full moon,
on our feast day.
081:004 For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
081:005 He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out over
the land of Egypt, I heard a language that I didn't know.
081:006 "I removed his shoulder from the burden. His hands were freed
from the basket.
081:007 You called in trouble, and I delivered you. I answered you
in the secret place of thunder. I tested you at the waters
of Meribah." Selah.
081:008 "Hear, my people, and I will testify to you, Israel, if you
would listen to me!
081:009 There shall be no strange god in you, neither shall you worship
any foreign god.
081:010 I am Yahweh, your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
081:011 But my people didn't listen to my voice. Israel desired
none of me.
081:012 So I let them go after the stubbornness of their hearts,
