80:1  Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, You Who lead Joseph like a flock; You Who sit enthroned upon the cherubim [of the ark of the covenant], shine forth
80:2  Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh! Stir up Your might, and come to save us!
80:3  Restore us again, O God; and cause Your face to shine [in pleasure and approval on us], and we shall be saved!
80:4  O Lord God of hosts, how long will You be angry with Your people’s prayers?
80:5  You have fed them with the bread of tears, and You have given them tears to drink in large measure.
80:6  You make us a strife and scorn to our neighbors, and our enemies laugh among themselves.
80:7  Restore us again, O God of hosts; and cause Your face to shine [upon us with favor as of old], and we shall be saved!
80:8  You brought a vine [Israel] out of Egypt; You drove out the [heathen] nations and planted it [in Canaan].
80:9  You prepared room before it, and it took deep root and it filled the land.
80:10  The mountains were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs of it were like the great cedars [cedars of God].
80:11  [Israel] sent out its boughs to the [Mediterranean] Sea and its branches to the [Euphrates] River.
80:12  Why have You broken down its hedges and walls so that all who pass by pluck from its fruit?
80:13  The boar out of the wood wastes it and the wild beast of the field feeds on it.
80:14  Turn again, we beseech You, O God of hosts! Look down from heaven and see, visit, and have regard for this vine!
80:15  [Protect and maintain] the stock which Your right hand planted, and the branch (the son) that You have reared and made strong for Yourself.
80:16  They have burned it with fire, it is cut down; may they perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.
80:17  Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand, upon the son of man whom You have made strong for Yourself.
80:18  Then will we not depart from You; revive us (give us life) and we will call upon Your name.
80:19  Restore us, O Lord God of hosts; cause Your face to shine [in pleasure, approval, and favor on us], and we shall be saved!
