2 | \80:1\To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim Eduth, A Psalm of Asaph. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubim, shine forth. |
3 | \80:2\Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us. |
4 | \80:3\Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. |
5 | \80:4\O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people? |
6 | \80:5\Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure. |
7 | \80:6\Thou makest us a strife to our neighbors: and our enemies laugh among themselves. |
8 | \80:7\Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. |
9 | \80:8\Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it. |
10 | \80:9\Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land. |
11 | \80:10\The hills were covered with the shade of it, and its boughs were like the goodly cedars. |
12 | \80:11\She sent out her boughs to the sea, and her branches to the river. |
13 | \80:12\Why hast thou then broke down her hedges, so that all they who pass by the way do pluck her? |
14 | \80:13\The boar from the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it. |
15 | \80:14\Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine; |
16 | \80:15\And the vineyard which thy right hand planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself. |
17 | \80:16\It is burnt with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance. |
18 | \80:17\Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself. |
19 | \80:18\So will we not go back from thee: revive us, and we will call upon thy name. |
20 | \80:19\Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. |
