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 neighbors, 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 for 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 that 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 we not 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!
