80:1 For the choir director; set to El Shoshannim; Eduth. A Psalm of Asaph. Oh, give ear, Shepherd of Israel, You who lead Joseph like a flock; You who are enthroned above the cherubim, shine forth!
80:2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up Your power And come to save us!
80:3 O God, restore us And cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved.
80:4 O LORD God of hosts, How long will You be angry with the prayer of Your people?
80:5 You have fed them with the bread of tears, And You have made them to drink tears in large measure.
80:6 You make us an object of contention to our neighbors, And our enemies laugh among themselves.
80:7 O God of hosts, restore us And cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved.
80:8 You removed a vine from Egypt; You drove out the 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 the cedars of God with its boughs.
80:11 It was sending out its branches to the sea And its shoots to the River.
80:12 Why have You broken down its hedges, So that all who pass that way pick its fruit?
80:13 A boar from the forest eats it away And whatever moves in the field feeds on it.
80:14 O God of hosts, turn again now, we beseech You; Look down from heaven and see, and take care of this vine,
80:15 Even the shoot which Your right hand has planted, And on 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 made strong for Yourself.
80:18 Then we shall not turn back from You; Revive us, and we will call upon Your name.
80:19 O LORD God of hosts, restore us; Cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved.
