Psalm 80A Prayer for Restoration
|
|
|
|
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.
