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.

²⁴The wisdom of a learned man cometh by opportunity of leisure: and he that hath little business shall become wise.
²⁵How can he get wisdom that holdeth the plough, and that glorieth in the goad, that driveth oxen, and is occupied in their labours, and whose talk is of bullocks?
²⁶He giveth his mind to make furrows; and is diligent to give the kine fodder.
²⁷So every carpenter and workmaster, that laboureth night and day: and they that cut and grave seals, and are diligent to make great variety, and give themselves to counterfeit imagery, and watch to finish a work:
²⁸The smith also sitting by the anvil, and considering the iron work, the vapour of the fire wasteth his flesh, and he fighteth with the heat of the furnace: the noise of the hammer and the anvil is ever in his ears, and his eyes look still upon the pattern of the thing that he maketh; he setteth his mind to finish his work, and watcheth to polish it perfectly:
²⁹So doth the potter sitting at his work, and turning the wheel about with his feet, who is alway carefully set at his work, and maketh all his work by number;
³⁰He fashioneth the clay with his arm, and boweth down his strength before his feet; he applieth himself to lead it over; and he is diligent to make clean the furnace:
³¹All these trust to their hands: and every one is wise in his work.
³²Without these cannot a city be inhabited: and they shall not dwell where they will, nor go up and down:
³³They shall not be sought for in publick counsel, nor sit high in the congregation: they shall not sit on the judges’ seat, nor understand the sentence of judgment: they cannot declare justice and judgment; and they shall not be found where parables are spoken.
³⁴But they will maintain the state of the world, and [all] their desire is in the work of their craft.

¹⁴And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother laid, and sick of a fever.
¹⁵And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.
¹⁶When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:
¹⁷That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
¹⁸Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side.
¹⁹And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
²⁰And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
²¹And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
²²But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.
²³And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.
²⁴And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.
²⁵And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.
²⁶And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
²⁷But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!
