# Chapter 80
|
||
1 Listen, Shepherd of Israel,
|
||
who leads Joseph like a flock;
|
||
you who sit enthroned between the cherubim,
|
||
shine
|
||
2 on Ephraim,
|
||
Benjamin, and Manasseh.
|
||
Rally your power and come to save us.
|
||
3 Restore us, God;
|
||
make your face shine on us,
|
||
so that we may be saved.
|
||
4 Lord God of Armies,
|
||
how long will you be angry
|
||
with your people’s prayers?
|
||
5 You fed them the bread of tears
|
||
and gave them a full measure
|
||
of tears to drink.
|
||
6 You put us at odds with our neighbors;
|
||
our enemies mock us.
|
||
7 Restore us, God of Armies;
|
||
make your face shine on us, so that we may be saved.
|
||
8 You dug up a vine from Egypt;
|
||
you drove out the nations and planted it.
|
||
9 You cleared a place for it;
|
||
it took root and filled the land.
|
||
10 The mountains were covered by its shade,
|
||
and the mighty cedars with its branches.
|
||
11 It sent out sprouts toward the Sea
|
||
and shoots toward the River.
|
||
12 Why have you broken down its walls
|
||
so that all who pass by pick its fruit?
|
||
13 Boars from the forest tear at it
|
||
and creatures of the field feed on it.
|
||
14 Return, God of Armies.
|
||
Look down from heaven and see;
|
||
take care of this vine,
|
||
15 the root your right hand planted,
|
||
the son that you made strong for yourself.
|
||
16 It was cut down and burned;
|
||
they perish at the rebuke of your countenance.
|
||
17 Let your hand be with the man at your right hand,
|
||
with the son of man
|
||
you have made strong for yourself.
|
||
18 Then we will not turn away from you;
|
||
revive us, and we will call on your name.
|
||
19 Restore us, Lord, God of Armies;
|
||
make your face shine on us, so that we may be saved. |
