Daily Meditation
17 Let thy hand be
upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for
thyself.
Today’s Reading
Psalm
Chapter 80
Turn us again
To the chief
Musician upon Shoshannim-Eduth, A Psalm of Asaph. 1 Give ear, O Shepherd of
Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the
cherubims, shine forth. 2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy
strength, and come and save us.
3 Turn us again, O
God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
4 O Lord God of
hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people? 5 Thou
feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great
measure. 6 Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh
among themselves.
7 Turn us again, O
God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
8 Thou hast brought
a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it. 9 Thou
preparedst 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 boughs unto the sea, and
her branches unto the river. 12 Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so
that all they which pass by the way do pluck her? 13 The boar out of the wood
doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.
14 Return, we
beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this
vine; 15 and the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch
that thou madest strong for thyself. 16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down:
they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance. 17 Let thy hand be upon the man
of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself. 18
So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.
