Psalm 80
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Please listen, O Shepherd of Israel,
|
|
|
|
you who lead Joseph's descendants like a flock.
|
|
|
|
O God, enthroned above the cherubim,
|
|
|
|
display your radiant glory
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. to Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh.
|
|
|
|
Show us your mighty power.
|
|
|
|
Come to rescue us!
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Turn us again to yourself, O God.
|
|
|
|
Make your face shine down upon us.
|
|
|
|
Only then will we be saved.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. O LORD God of Heaven's Armies,
|
|
|
|
how long will you be angry with our prayers?
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. You have fed us with sorrow
|
|
|
|
and made us drink tears by the bucketful.
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. You have made us the scorn of neighboring nations.
|
|
|
|
Our enemies treat us as a joke.
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. Turn us again to yourself, O God of Heaven's Armies.
|
|
|
|
Make your face shine down upon us.
|
|
|
|
Only then will we be saved.
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. You brought us from Egypt like a grapevine;
|
|
|
|
you drove away the pagan nations and transplanted us into your land.
|
|
|
|
|
|
9. You cleared the ground for us,
|
|
|
|
and we took root and filled the land.
|
|
|
|
|
|
10. Our shade covered the mountains;
|
|
|
|
our branches covered the mighty cedars.
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. We spread our branches west to the Mediterranean Sea;
|
|
our shoots spread east to the Euphrates River.
|
|
|
|
12. But now, why have you broken down our walls
|
|
|
|
so that all who pass by may steal our fruit?
|
|
|
|
|
|
13. The wild boar from the forest devours it,
|
|
|
|
and the wild animals feed on it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. Come back, we beg you, O God of Heaven's Armies.
|
|
|
|
Look down from heaven and see our plight.
|
|
|
|
Take care of this grapevine
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. that you yourself have planted,
|
|
|
|
this son you have raised for yourself.
|
|
|
|
|
|
16. For we are chopped up and burned by our enemies.
|
|
|
|
May they perish at the sight of your frown.
|
|
|
|
|
|
17. Strengthen the man you love,
|
|
|
|
the son of your choice.
|
|
|
|
|
|
18. Then we will never abandon you again.
|
|
|
|
Revive us so we can call on your name once more.
|
|
|
|
|
|
19. Turn us again to yourself, O LORD God of Heaven's Armies.
|
|
|
|
Make your face shine down upon us.
|
|
|
|
Only then will we be saved.
