Psalms 80:1-19

1 1 2Oh, give ear, 3Shepherd of Israel, You who lead 4Joseph like a flock; You who 5are enthroned above the cherubim, shine forth!2Before 6Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, 7stir up Your power And come to save us!3O God, 8restore us And 9cause Your face to shine upon us, 10and we will be saved.

4O 11Lord God of hosts, 12How long will You 13be angry with the prayer of Your people?5You have fed them with the 14bread of tears, And You have made them to drink tears in 15large measure.6You make us 16an object of contention 17to our neighbors, And our enemies laugh among themselves.7O God of hosts, restore us And cause Your face to shine upon us, 18and we will be saved.

8You removed a 19vine from Egypt; You 20drove out the 21nations and 22planted it.9You 23cleared the ground before it, And it 24took deep root and filled the land.10The mountains were covered with its shadow, And 25the cedars of God with its 26boughs.11It was sending out its branches 27to the sea And its shoots to the River.12Why have You 28broken down its 29hedges, So that all who pass that way pick its fruit?13A boar from the forest 30eats it away And whatever moves in the field feeds on it.

14O God of hosts, 31turn again now, we beseech You; 32Look down from heaven and see, and take care of this vine,15Even the 33 34shoot which Your right hand has planted, And on the 35son whom You have 36strengthened for Yourself.16It is 37burned with fire, it is cut down; They perish at the 38rebuke of Your countenance.17Let 39Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand, Upon the son of man whom You 40made strong for Yourself.18Then we shall not 41turn back from You; 42Revive us, and we will call upon Your name.19O Lord God of hosts, 43restore us; Cause Your face to shine upon us, 44and we will be saved.
