80:1  {To the chief Musician. On Shoshannim-Eduth. Of Asaph. A Psalm.} Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that sittest [between] the cherubim, shine forth.

80:2  Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up thy strength, and come to our deliverance.

80:3  O God, restore us; and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

80:4  Jehovah, God of hosts, how long will thine anger smoke against the prayer of thy people?

80:5  Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in large measure:

80:6  Thou hast made us a strife unto our neighbours, and our enemies mock among themselves.

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

80:8  Thou broughtest a vine out of Egypt; thou didst cast out the nations, and plant it:

80:9  Thou preparedst space before it, and it took deep root, and filled the land;

80:10  The mountains were covered with its shadow, and the branches thereof were [like] cedars of ùGod;

80:11  It sent out its boughs unto the sea, and its shoots unto the river.

80:12  Why hast thou broken down its fences, so that all who pass by the way do pluck it?

80:13  The boar out of the forest doth waste it, and the beast of the field doth feed off it.

80:14  O God of hosts, return, we beseech thee; look down from the heavens, and behold, and visit this vine;

80:15  Even the stock which thy right hand hath planted, and the young plant thou madest strong for thyself.

80:16  It is burned with fire, it is cut down; they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.

80:17  Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou hast made strong for thyself.

80:18  So will we not go back from thee. Revive us, and we will call upon thy name.

80:19  Restore us, O Jehovah, God of hosts; cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
