80:1  

  • To the Chief Musician. "A Testimony Concerning the Lilies." A Psalm of Asaph. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel; You Who lead Joseph like a flock; You Who dwell between the cherubim, shine forth.
  • 80:2  Stir up Your strength before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, and come, save us.

    80:3  Restore us O God, and cause Your face to shine, and we shall be saved!

    80:4  O LORD God of hosts, how long will You be angry against the prayer of Your people?

    80:5  You feed them with the bread of tears, and give them tears to drink in great measure.

    80:6  You make us a source of strife to our neighbors; and our enemies laugh among themselves.

    80:7  Restore us O God of hosts, and cause Your face to shine; and we shall be saved.

    80:8  You have brought a vine out of Egypt; You have cast out the nations and planted it.

    80:9  You cleared a place before it, and caused it to take deep root; and it filled the land.

    80:10  The mountains were covered with its shadow, and the mighty cedars with its boughs.

    80:11  It sent out its branches to the sea, and its shoots to the river.

    80:12  Why have You broken down its hedges, so that all those who pass by the way pluck her?

    80:13  The boar out of the wood ravages it, and the wild beast of the field feeds on it.

    80:14  Return, we beseech You, O God of hosts; look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine,

    80:15  And the vineyard which Your right hand has planted, and the branch that You make strong for Yourself.

    80:16  It is burned with fire and 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 have made strong for Yourself.

    80:18  So we will not turn back from You; make us live, and we will call upon Your name.

    80:19  Restore us, O LORD God of Hosts; cause Your face to shine, and we shall be saved.
