| 80:1 |
Hear us, O Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock; you who sit enthroned between the cherubim, shine forth |
| 80:2 |
before Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh. Awaken your might; come and save us. |
| 80:3 |
Restore us, O God; make your face shine upon us, that we may be saved. |
| 80:4 |
O LORD God Almighty, how long will your anger smolder against the prayers of your people? |
| 80:5 |
You have fed them with the bread of tears; you have made them drink tears by the bowlful. |
| 80:6 |
You have made us a source of contention to our neighbors, and our enemies mock us. |
| 80:7 |
Restore us, O God Almighty; make your face shine upon us, that we may 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, and it took root and filled the land. |
| 80:10 |
The mountains were covered with its shade, the mighty cedars with its branches. |
| 80:11 |
It sent out its boughs to the Sea, its shoots as far as the River. |
| 80:12 |
Why have you broken down its walls so that all who pass by pick its grapes? |
| 80:13 |
Boars from the forest ravage it and the creatures of the field feed on it. |
| 80:14 |
Return to us, O God Almighty! Look down from heaven and see! Watch over this vine, |
| 80:15 |
the root your right hand has planted, the son you have raised up for yourself. |
| 80:16 |
Your vine is cut down, it is burned with fire; at your rebuke your people perish. |
| 80:17 |
Let your hand rest on the man at your right hand, the son of man you have raised up for yourself. |
| 80:18 |
Then we will not turn away from you; revive us, and we will call on your name. |
| 80:19 |
Restore us, O LORD God Almighty; make your face shine upon us, that we may be saved. |
