# Chapter 80
|
|
1 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel,
|
|
you who lead Joseph like a flock.
|
|
You who are enthroned upon the cherubim, shine forth.
|
|
2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh,
|
|
stir up your might
|
|
and come to save us!
|
|
3 Restore us, O God;
|
|
let your face shine, that we may be saved!
|
|
4 O Lord God of hosts,
|
|
how long will you be angry with your people's prayers?
|
|
5 You have fed them with the bread of tears
|
|
and given them tears to drink in full measure.
|
|
6 You make us an object of contention for our neighbors,
|
|
and our enemies laugh among themselves.
|
|
7 Restore us, O God of hosts;
|
|
let your face shine, that we may be saved!
|
|
8 You brought a vine out of Egypt;
|
|
you drove out the nations and planted it.
|
|
9 You cleared the ground for it;
|
|
it took deep root and filled the land.
|
|
10 The mountains were covered with its shade,
|
|
the mighty cedars with its branches.
|
|
11 It sent out its branches to the sea
|
|
and its shoots to the River.
|
|
12 Why then have you broken down its walls,
|
|
so that all who pass along the way pluck its fruit?
|
|
13 The boar from the forest ravages it,
|
|
and all that move in the field feed on it.
|
|
14 Turn again, O God of hosts!
|
|
Look down from heaven, and see;
|
|
have regard for this vine,
|
|
15 the stock that your right hand planted,
|
|
and for the son whom you made strong for yourself.
|
|
16 They have burned it with fire; they have cut it down;
|
|
may they perish at the rebuke of your face!
|
|
17 But let your hand be on the man of your right hand,
|
|
the son of man whom you have made strong for yourself!
|
|
18 Then we shall not turn back from you;
|
|
give us life, and we will call upon your name!
|
|
19 Restore us, O Lord God of hosts!
|
|
Let your face shine, that we may be saved! |
