80:1 |
<> Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock, you who sit above the cherubim, shine forth. |
80:2 |
Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up your might! Come to save us! |
80:3 |
Turn us again, God. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved. |
80:4 |
Yahweh God of Armies, 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 a source of contention to our neighbors. Our enemies laugh among themselves. |
80:7 |
Turn us again, God of Armies. 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 cleared the ground for it. It took deep root, and filled the land. |
80:10 |
The mountains were covered with its shadow. Its boughs were like God's cedars. |
80:11 |
It sent out its branches to the sea, Its shoots 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. The wild animals of the field feed on it. |
80:14 |
Turn again, we beg you, God of Armies. Look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vine, |
80:15 |
the stock which your right hand planted, the branch that you made strong for yourself. |
80:16 |
It's burned with fire. It's cut down. They perish at your rebuke. |
80:17 |
Let your hand be on the man of your right hand, on the son of man whom you made strong for yourself. |
80:18 |
So we will not turn away from you. Revive us, and we will call on your name. |
80:19 |
Turn us again, Yahweh God of Armies. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved. |
