| 80:1
| Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock;
thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.
|
| 80:2
| Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come
and save us.
|
| 80:3
| Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be
saved.
|
| 80:4
| O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of
thy people?
|
| 80:5
| Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to
drink in great measure.
|
| 80:6
| Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among
themselves.
|
| 80:7
| Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall
be saved.
|
| 80:8
| Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen,
and planted it.
|
| 80:9
| Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root,
and it filled the land.
|
| 80:10
| The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof
were like the goodly cedars.
|
| 80:11
| She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.
|
| 80:12
| Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass
by the way do pluck her?
|
| 80:13
| The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field
doth devour it.
|
| 80:14
| Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and
behold, and visit this vine;
|
| 80:15
| And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that
thou madest strong for thyself.
|
| 80:16
| It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy
countenance.
|
| 80:17
| Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom
thou madest strong for thyself.
|
| 80:18
| So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy
name.
|
| 80:19
| Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we
shall be saved.
