| 80.1 |
Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock, you who sit above the cherubim, shine out. |
| 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. |
