80:1 For the director of music. To the tune of”The Lilies of the Covenant.” Of Asaph. A psalm. Hear us, O Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock; you who sit enthroned between the cherubim, shine forth
80:2 before Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh. Awaken your might; come and save us.
80:3 Restore us, O God; make your face shine upon us, that we may be saved.
80:4 O LORD God Almighty, how long will your anger smolder against the prayers of your people?
80:5 You have fed them with the bread of tears; you have made them drink tears by the bowlful.
80:6 You have made us a source of contention to our neighbors, and our enemies mock us.
80:7 Restore us, O God Almighty; make your face shine upon us, that we may be saved.
80:8 You brought a vine out of Egypt; you drove out the nations and planted it.
80:9 You cleared the ground for it, and it took root and filled the land.
80:10 The mountains were covered with its shade, the mighty cedars with its branches.
80:11 It sent out its boughs to the Sea, its shoots as far as the River.
80:12 Why have you broken down its walls so that all who pass by pick its grapes?
80:13 Boars from the forest ravage it and the creatures of the field feed on it.
80:14 Return to us, O God Almighty! Look down from heaven and see! Watch over this vine,
80:15 the root your right hand has planted, the son you have raised up for yourself.
80:16 Your vine is cut down, it is burned with fire; at your rebuke your people perish.
80:17 Let your hand rest on the man at your right hand, the son of man you have raised up for yourself.
80:18 Then we will not turn away from you; revive us, and we will call on your name.
80:19 Restore us, O LORD God Almighty; make your face shine upon us, that we may be saved.
80:1 O Shepherd of Israel, give ear, / You who lead Joseph like a flock; / You who are enthroned between the cherubim, shine forth.
80:2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh / Stir up Your might, / And come to save us.
80:3 O God, restore us; / And cause Your face to shine, and we will be saved.
80:4 O Jehovah God of hosts, / How long will You fume / Against the prayer of Your people?
80:5 You have fed them with the bread of tears / And have made them drink tears in large measure.
80:6 You have made us a cause of strife to our neighbors, / And our enemies deride us among themselves.
80:7 O God of hosts, restore us; / And cause Your face to shine, and we will be saved.
80:8 You brought a vine out of Egypt; / You drove out nations and planted it;
80:9 You cleared the ground before it, / And it took deep root and filled the land.
80:10 The mountains were covered with its shadow, / And its boughs were like the cedars of God.
80:11 It put forth its branches unto the sea, / And its shoots unto the River.
80:12 Why have You broken down its hedges, / So that all who pass by on the way pluck it?
80:13 The boar from the forest ravages it, / And that which moves through the field feeds on it.
80:14 O God of hosts, turn, we beseech You; / Look down from heaven and see, / And visit this vine,
80:15 Even the stock which Your right hand has planted / And the son whom You have strengthened for Yourself.
80:16 It is burned with fire; it is cut down; / They perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.
80:17 Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand, / Upon the son of man whom You have strengthened for Yourself;
80:18 Then we will not turn back from You. / Revive us, and we will call upon Your name.
80:19 O Jehovah God of hosts, restore us; / Cause Your face to shine, and we will be saved.
