80:1  Shepherd of Israel, listen! The one who leads Joseph like a flock, the one enthroned on the cherubim, display your glory.
80:2  Reveal your power before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, then come to our rescue.
80:3  God, restore us, show your favor and deliver us.
80:4  LORD God of the Heavenly Armies, when will your smoldering anger toward your people's prayers cease?
80:5  You fed them tears as their food, and caused them to drink a full measure of tears.
80:6  You have set us at strife against our neighbors and our enemies deride us.
80:7  God of the Heavenly Armies, restore us and show your favor, so we may be delivered.
80:8  You uprooted a vine from Egypt, and drove out nations to transplant it.
80:9  You cleared the ground so that its roots grew and filled the land.
80:10  Mountains were covered by its shadows, and the mighty cedars by its branches.
80:11  Its branches spread out to the Mediterranean Sea and its shoots to the Euphrates River.
80:12  Why did you break down its walls so that those who pass by pluck its fruits?
80:13  Wild boars of the forest gnaw at it, and creatures of the field feed on it.
80:14  God of the Heavenly Armies, return! Look down from heaven and see. Show care toward this vine.
80:15  The root that your right hand planted, the shoot that you tended for yourself,
80:16  was burned with fire, cut off, and destroyed on account of your rebuke.
80:17  May you support the man at your right hand; the son of man whom you have raised for yourself.
80:18  Then we will not turn away from you. Restore us, so we can call upon your name.
80:19  God of hosts, restore to us the light of your favor. Then we'll be delivered.
