Psalm 80

¹Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.
²Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us.
³Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
⁴O Lord God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
⁵Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.
⁶Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.
⁷Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
⁸Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
⁹Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.
¹⁰The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.
¹¹She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.
¹²Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?
¹³The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.
¹⁴Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
¹⁵And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.
¹⁶It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
¹⁷Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.
¹⁸So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.
¹⁹Turn us again, O Lord God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.

²Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they be all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.
³And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the Lord.
⁴Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders.
⁵And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.
⁶Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the Lord.
⁷Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people?
⁸Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in heart he layeth his wait.
⁹Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the Lord: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
¹⁰For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none can pass through them; neither can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are fled; they are gone.
¹¹And I will make Jerusalem heaps, and a den of dragons; and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant.
¹²Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of the Lord hath spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land perisheth and is burned up like a wilderness, that none passeth through?
¹³And the Lord saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein;
¹⁴But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them:
¹⁵Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.
¹⁶I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them.

¹²And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:
¹³And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.
¹⁴And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.
¹⁵And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;
¹⁶And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
¹⁷And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
¹⁸And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.
¹⁹And when even was come, he went out of the city.
²⁰And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
²¹And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
²²And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
²³For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
²⁴Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
²⁵And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
²⁶But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
