80:1 Listen, O Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock. You who sit above the cherubim, shine forth.
80:2 Stir up your might before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh and come to save us. 80:3Turn us again, O God and cause your face to shine and we will be saved.
80:4 O Jehovah God of hosts, how long will you be angry against the prayer of your people? 80:5 You have fed them with the bread of tears and given them tears to drink in large measure.
80:6 You make us hatred to our neighbors and our enemies laugh among themselves.
80:7 Turn us again, O God of hosts and cause your face to shine and we will be saved.
80:8 You brought a vine out of Egypt. You drove out the nations and planted it. 80:9 You prepared a place before it and it took deep root and filled the land. 80:10 The mountains were covered with the shadow of it and the branches of it were like cedars of God. 80:11 It sent out its limbs to the sea and its offshoots to the River.
80:12 Why have you broken down its walls, so that all those who pass by the way pluck it? 80:13 The boar out of the wood ravages it and the wild beasts of the field feed on it.
80:14 Turn again, we beseech you, O God of hosts. Look down from heaven, and behold and visit this vine, 80:15 and the stock which your right hand planted and the branch that you made strong 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 made strong for yourself, 80:18 so we will not turn-back from you.
Revive you us and we will call upon your name.80:19 Turn us again, O Jehovah God of hosts, cause your face to shine and we will be saved.
