PSALM 80



Ps 80:1 O Shepherd of Israel, give ear, / You who lead Joseph like a flock; / You who are enthroned between the cherubim, shine forth.

Ps 80:2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh / Stir up Your might, / And come to save us.

Ps 80:3 O God, restore us; / And cause Your face to shine, and we will be saved.

Ps 80:4 O Jehovah God of hosts, / How long will You fume / Against the prayer of Your people?

Ps 80:5 You have fed them with the bread of tears / And have made them drink tears in large measure.

Ps 80:6 You have made us a cause of strife to our neighbors, / And our enemies deride us among themselves.

Ps 80:7 O God of hosts, restore us; / And cause Your face to shine, and we will be saved.

Ps 80:8 You brought a vine out of Egypt; / You drove out nations and planted it;

Ps 80:9 You cleared the ground before it, / And it took deep root and filled the land.

Ps 80:10 The mountains were covered with its shadow, / And its boughs were like the cedars of God.

Ps 80:11 It put forth its branches unto the sea, / And its shoots unto the River.

Ps 80:12 Why have You broken down its hedges, / So that all who pass by on the way pluck it?

Ps 80:13 The boar from the forest ravages it, / And that which moves through the field feeds on it.

Ps 80:14 O God of hosts, turn, we beseech You; / Look down from heaven and see, / And visit this vine,

Ps 80:15 Even the stock which Your right hand has planted / And the son whom You have strengthened for Yourself.

Ps 80:16 It is burned with fire; it is cut down; / They perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.

Ps 80:17 Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand, / Upon the son of man whom You have strengthened for Yourself;

Ps 80:18 Then we will not turn back from You. / Revive us, and we will call upon Your name.

Ps 80:19 O Jehovah God of hosts, restore us; / Cause Your face to shine, and we will be saved.
