Psalm 80 Qui regis Israel
Heare thou, greate heardsman, that dost Jacob feed:
Thou, Josephs shepheard, shine from Cherubs throne:
In Ephraim, Benjamyn, Manasses need,
Awake thy power, and make thy puisance knowne.
Free us distressed, raise us overthrowne,
Reduce us straid, O God, restore us banish'd:
Display thy faces skies on us thine owne,
Soe we shall safely dwell, all darknesse vanish'd.
Thou, Josephs shepheard, shine from Cherubs throne:
In Ephraim, Benjamyn, Manasses need,
Awake thy power, and make thy puisance knowne.
Free us distressed, raise us overthrowne,
Reduce us straid, O God, restore us banish'd:
Display thy faces skies on us thine owne,
Soe we shall safely dwell, all darknesse vanish'd.
Lord God of hosts, what end, what meane appeares
Of thy wrathes fume against thy peoples cry?
Whom thou with teares for bread, for drink with teares
So diettest, that we abandon'd ly,
To foes of laughter, and to dwellers by,
A field of brall; but God restore us banish'd
Display on us thy faces cleered sky,
So we shall safly dwell, all darknes vanish'd.
Of thy wrathes fume against thy peoples cry?
Whom thou with teares for bread, for drink with teares
So diettest, that we abandon'd ly,
To foes of laughter, and to dwellers by,
A field of brall; but God restore us banish'd
Display on us thy faces cleered sky,
So we shall safly dwell, all darknes vanish'd.
A Vine thou didst translate from Zoan playnes,
And weeding them that held the place of old,
Nor planting care didst slack, nor pruning paines,
To fix hir rootes, whom fieldes could not enfold.
The hills were cloked with hir pleasing cold:
With Cedars state hir branches height contended:
Scarse here the sea, the River there controld
Hir armes, hir handes, soe wide she both extended.
And weeding them that held the place of old,
Nor planting care didst slack, nor pruning paines,
To fix hir rootes, whom fieldes could not enfold.
The hills were cloked with hir pleasing cold:
With Cedars state hir branches height contended:
Scarse here the sea, the River there controld
Hir armes, hir handes, soe wide she both extended.
Why hast thou now, thy self, dishedg'd this vine,
Carlesly left to passengers in pray?
Unseemly rooted by the woodbred swine,
Wasted by other beasts that wildly stray?
O God, retorne, and from thy starry stay
Review this Vyne, reflect thy looking hither;
This vineyard see, whose plott thy hande dyd lay,
This plant of choise, ordained not to wither.
Carlesly left to passengers in pray?

Wasted by other beasts that wildly stray?
O God, retorne, and from thy starry stay
Review this Vyne, reflect thy looking hither;
This vineyard see, whose plott thy hande dyd lay,
This plant of choise, ordained not to wither.

Consum'd with flames, with killing axes hewne
All at thy frown they fall, and quaile, and dy:
But heape thou might, on thy ellected one,
That stablest man in whom we may affy.
Then we, preserv'd, thy name shall magnify
Without revolt, Lord God restore us banish'd:
Display on us thy faces cleered sky,
Soe we shall safely dwell, all darknes vanish'd.
All at thy frown they fall, and quaile, and dy:
But heape thou might, on thy ellected one,
That stablest man in whom we may affy.
Then we, preserv'd, thy name shall magnify
Without revolt, Lord God restore us banish'd:
Display on us thy faces cleered sky,
Soe we shall safely dwell, all darknes vanish'd.
