LEB - Psalms - 80

80:1  A testimony. Of Asaph. A psalm. Give ear, O shepherd of Israel, who leads Joseph like a flock. Shine forth, you who sits enthroned above the cherubim.

80:2  Before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, stir up your power and come for our salvation.

80:3  O God, restore us, and cause your face to shine that we may be saved.

80:4  O Yahweh God of hosts, ⌞how long will you be angry⌟ against the prayer of your people?

80:5  You have fed them the bread of tears; you have given them tears to drink in full measure.

80:6  You have made us an object of strife to our neighbors, and our enemies mock among themselves.

80:7  O God of hosts, restore us and cause your face to shine that we may be saved.

80:8  You uprooted a vine from Egypt; you drove out the nations and planted it.

80:9  You prepared a place before it, and ⌞it took deep root⌟ and filled the land.

80:10  The mountains were covered with its shade, and the mighty cedars with its boughs.

80:11  It spread its branches to the sea and its shoots to the river.

80:12  Why have you broken down its walls, so that all who pass on the road pluck fruit from it?

80:13  Swine from the forests devour it and creatures of the field feed on it.

80:14  Please return, O God of hosts. Observe from heaven and see, and pay attention to this vine,

80:15  eventhe stalk that your right hand planted, and concerning the shoot you strengthened for yourself.

80:16  It is burned with fire, cut down. They perish at the rebuke of your face.

80:17  Let your hand be on the man of your right hand, on the son of humankind whom you made strong for yourself.

80:18  Then we will not turn back from you. Restore us to life, and we will proclaim your name.

80:19  O Yahweh God of hosts, restore us; cause your face to shine that we may be saved.
